Introduction to TRITON Workshop-Gables Campus
2019-10-10 12:00 - 16:00 UTC | Richter Library, 1300 Memorial Drive, Coral Gables, Florida, 33146, United States
The University of Miami has unleashed Triton to the research community. Using the same AI-optimized architecture as the world’s most powerful supercomputer, Triton is UM’s first GPU-accelerated HPC system, representing a new approach to computational and data science. Built using IBM Power Systems AC922 servers, Triton was designed to maximize data movement between the IBM POWER9 CPU and attached accelerators, enabling students, researchers, and analysts to explore new possibilities.
The CCS Advanced Computing team is offering training sessions on TRITON at all three campuses. The training session will include information on how to create a new Triton account, utilize the pre-installed software, and best practices for using the new features on Triton for areas such as Deep Learning and Data Science.
This is a hands-on session, so please bring a laptop.

Topics covered in this Workshop:

The Unix shell
Version control with git
Programming with R

Since the goal of this workshop is to bring you up to speed with data analysis, it would be incomplete without instruction on a shell as well as a version control system. The shell is important in building reproducible data analysis pipelines where your R scripts may be just one component, Git is an incredibly useful tool for version control, collaboration and management of your coding projects.

This Workshop is capped at 35 participants, and is on a first-come/ first-served basis.

Make yourself competitive in the job market
Take a personal project to the next level
Play with data

Trained instructors lead a comprehensive, hands-on overview of what is possible with R, using an example dataset. Go from reading data into R to data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, how to write in RMarkdown, as well as best practices for writing R code that others can understand and use. This workshop is designed to provide a foundation of basic concepts that all programming depends on, using R as an example.
WHEN
Monday and Tuesday, December 2-3, 2019
8:30 AM Registration | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Course Hours, Both Days
WHERE
Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmostpheric Science (RSMAS)
