Are you working with massive datasets or training AI models on the Anvil cluster? Traditional file systems can become a bottleneck for data intensive research. To help you scale your workflows, we’re offering a hands-on training session on Anvil Object Storage, our new scalable storage solution built for the demands of modern high-performance computing.
What You Will Learn
- The Basics of Object Storage: A clear, jargon-free explanation of what object storage is and how it differs from traditional file and block storage.
- The AI Advantage: Why object storage works well for managing massive, unstructured datasets and speeding up AI and machine learning (ML) workflows.
- Getting Started: A step-by-step guide to requesting and configuring access to Anvil Object Storage.
- Hands-On Examples: Practical demonstrations of how to use the storage system with command-line tools and Python.
Who Should Attend
Anvil users, researchers, and students who work with large amounts of data, run AI/ML workloads, or want more efficient ways to manage their research data.
Required Knowledge Level
Beginner. No prior knowledge of object storage is required. We’ll build your understanding from the ground up. Basic familiarity with the Anvil cluster environment and command-line navigation is helpful, and we’ll explain every concept clearly.
