SUMMARY:HPC & Data Science Summer Institute 2025
DESCRIPTION:Application open! Apply today! Last day to apply is Friday, Ap
 ril 25, 2025Preparation Day (virtual): Tuesday, July 29, from 9 am to 11
  am (Pacific Time)Summer Institute (in-person):Monday, August 4 – Thurs
 day, August 7, from 8 am to 5 pm (Pacific Time) Friday, August 8, from 8 
 am to 12:30 pm  (Pacific Time)The SDSC Summer Institute is a week-long 
 workshop hosted annually by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at U
 C San Diego, focusing on introductory-to-intermediate topics in High Perfo
 rmance Computing (HPC), Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). De
 signed for researchers and educators in academia and industry, the program
  equips participants to solve scientific challenges exceeding local comput
 ing capabilities.The purpose of the Summer Institute is to give the attend
 ees an overview of topics in High Performance Computing and Data Science a
 nd accelerate their learning process through highly interactive classes wi
 th hands-on tutorials on the Expanse Supercomputer.  Moreover, the attend
 ees will have many opportunities to meet one-on-one with SDSC’s experts 
 to discuss in detail the best techniques to solve their specific scientifi
 c problems. In order to benefit from the classes, the attendees are requir
 ed to have familiarity with the UNIX/Linux shell. Basic programming skills
  (in any programming language) are strongly recommended.Program highlights
 See the agenda for more details.Preparation Day (Virtual – July 29, 202
 5)Orientation: Logging into the Expanse Supercomputer, Linux/Unix basics, 
 and running supercomputing jobs.Summer institute:Monday & Tuesday Morning 
 - Foundational SkillsData Management: File systems, compression, checksum
 s, and secure transfer tools (wget, curl).Batch Job Workflows: Writing Slu
 rm scripts, job scheduling, and troubleshooting submissions.Parallel Compu
 ting Basics: Scalability principles, processes vs threads, resource alloca
 tion, and benchmarking.High-Throughput Computing: Strategies for managing 
 a large number of small jobs for example for large-scale parameter sweeps.
 Tuesday afternoon to Friday morning - Advanced techniques:Parallel Comput
 ing using MPI & Open MP: Learn how to leverage all cores in a machine with
  OpenMP and how to scale your computations across multiple nodes with MPI 
 using C and FORTRAN.Performance Tuning: Cache optimization, loop-level par
 allelization, and compiler limitations.GPU Programming: Understand GPU arc
 hitecture, learn how to program GPUs with libraries, OpenACC directives an
 d CUDA.Deep Learning: Covers core neural network concepts and hands-on Ker
 as implementation, progressing to advanced architectures (e.g., deep CNNs,
  transfer learning) and GPU-accelerated model optimization, with applicati
 ons in image/speech recognition and biomedical domains.Python for HPC: Eas
 ily speed-up Python on a single machine with numba and then scale a fully 
 distributed workload on a cluster with dask.Visit the website for more det
 ails about the program. See all upcoming SDSC events here.
