ACENET workshop: Carpentries- Introduction to Computational Thinking
Computational thinking is an essential skill for anyone wanting to learn to program computers and write code. Designed for beginners curious about programming, but unsure where to begin, this workshop will take you through the steps involved in computational thinking 鈥 learning how to break down complex problems into smaller parts, identify patterns, and design logical solutions that a computer can execute. Through hands-on activities, you will practice techniques such as problem decomposition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking.
ACENET workshop: Job Scheduling with Slurm
The national systems use a job scheduler called 鈥淪lurm鈥. In this session you will learn how Slurm works and how it allocates jobs, helping you to: minimize wait time by framing reasonable requests; ask for only the resources you need to improve efficiency; increase throughput; run more jobs simultaneously; and troubleshoot and address crashes. This workshop is designed for new HPC users familiar with Linux and Shell Scripting, or for experienced users transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler.
ACENET workshop: Introduction to Shell Scripting
Shell scripting helps you save time, automate file management tasks, and better use the power of Linux. You鈥檒l learn how to use the command line to carry out repetitive tasks, extract information from files quickly, combine commands in powerful ways, learn about job scripts, shell variables and looping commands, and capture a workflow so you can re-use it easily. Save time, reduce errors, and use Linux more effectively.
ACENET workshop: Introduction to the Linux Command Line
Linux is the terminal interface used to enable you to use the ACENET and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) HPC clusters from your desktop. It's the tool you need to get your data on the clusters, run your programs, and get your data back. In this session, learn how to get started with Linux, how to create and navigate directories for your data, load files, manage your storage, run programs on the computing clusters, and set file permissions. This workshop is designed for those with no prior experience in working with a terminal interface.
ACENET workshop: Introduction to ACENET and High Performance Computing (HPC)
What is High Performance Computing (HPC) and what can it do for me? How can ACENET help? Used by researchers across many disciplines to tackle analyses too large or complex for a desktop, or to achieve improved efficiency over a desktop, this session takes participants through the preliminary stages of learning about high performance computing (HPC) and computing clusters, and how to get started with this type of computing. It then reviews software packages available for applications, data analysis, software development and compiling code.
Teaching and Learning Centre Lunch and Learn: Reflecting on Reconciliation 鈥 A Zine Workshop
All faculty and staff welcome, no experience required.
Join us in the Teaching and Learning Centre from 11:30 am-1:00 pm on October 2, for a zine making and reflection activity with a focus on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. A creative session where you can come late and leave early. Spend time looking at zines, making a zine, and reflecting on your role in truth and reconciliation.
Teaching and Learning Centre Lunch and Learn: Live Polling with Mootimeter
Mootimeter is a live-polling tool inspired by Mentimeter, the tool has recently been added to our Moodle at 糖心vlog官方入口. This session will go over how to setup and use the tool.
