SUMMARY:High-performance programming: back to the hardware
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with UCLA-ECE\, IDRE  invites you to the workshop “High-Performance programming: back to hardware” with the following details: \nOutline: \n\nArchitecture of modern CPUs – brief overview\nHow to efficiently use CPU computing resources\nMemory and cache architecture\nHow to use the memory system efficiently\nUsing multiple CPUs efficiently through concurrency\nMemory model\, locking\, memory barriers\n\nInstructor:\nFedor G Pikus\, Ph.D.\,\nChief Engineering Scientist\,\nDesign to Silicon division\,\nMentor Graphics Corp (Siemens business). \nTiming: 10:30 AM – 4 PM on 5/3/2018 (Thursday)\, and 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM on 5/4/2018 (Friday) \nRequirements: Please bring your own laptop for handson exercises. \n\nRSVP – registration link (*lunch will be provided) \n\n\nAbstract: The great “free lunch” of programming is over. Until recently\, the programs just got faster by themselves as the time went by and the CPUs got upgraded. This does not happen anymore. The clock frequency of the new processors has peaked and even decreased slightly from the maximum. New architectures provide small improvements for existing programs\, but only small improvements. The processors do get larger\, more complex\, and more powerful\, but most of this new power goes into the increased number of processing cores and other “extra” computing units. To write efficient software\, one now has to make good use of the available computing resources. \nIt used to be that to write any half-decent program\, you had to know your hardware. Then\, the hardware became hidden\, abstracted behind higher-level languages; that was a good thing as the programmers could focus on writing programs in the way that expressed what they wanted to do\, not how it had to be done. Now we find ourselves reaching for the old arcane knowledge of hardware again: from ones and zeros we came\, to ones and zeros we return\, from now and until the next level of abstractions and high-level languages are invented. Still\, evolution is a spiral not a circle\, and we do not need to discard what we learned about good programming practices simply because we need to write efficient programs again. To put it another way\, just because our programs have to be as effective at getting every last bit of hardware performance as they were twenty years ago\, does not mean they have to be as difficult to read and debug. \nIn pursuit of performance\, we have at our disposal an amazing\, powerful\, and bewildering array of choices: concurrency (programming with multiple threads and multiple processes)\, atomic operations and lock-free programming\, special CPU instructions and special accelerator hardware\, memory and cache management\, shared memory. \nWe will learn what really happens when your program is executed\, what subtle details make a program slow or fast\, and how to make the best use of the available computing resources. We will talk about which performance considerations should be considered early in the design stage\, and which can be taken care of during implementation\, or\, even later\, optimization\, and what tools are available to measure the performance of your programs and their components. Most importantly\, I want to show you how to learn more about writing efficient programs and discover new knowledge as you need it. \n\n\n\n\nBio: Fedor G Pikus is a Chief Engineering Scientist in the Design to Silicon division of Mentor Graphics Corp (Siemens business). His earlier positions included a Senior Software Engineer at Google and a Chief Software Architect for Calibre PERC\, LVS\, DFM at Mentor Graphics. He joined Mentor Graphics in 1998 when he made a switch from academic research in computational physics to software industry. His responsibilities as a Chief Scientist include planning long-term technical direction of Calibre products\, directing and training the engineers who work on these products\, design and architecture of the software\, and research in new design and software technologies. Fedor has over 25 patents and over 100 papers and conference presentations on physics\, EDA\, software design\, and C++ language. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Mplus 8.1
DESCRIPTION:Mplus is a powerful statistical package used for the analysis of both observed and latent variables. Among the kinds of analysis it can perform are exploratory factor analysis\, confirmatory factor analysis\, latent class analysis\, latent growth curve modeling\, structural equation modeling and multilevel modeling. This workshop is designed for people who are just getting started using Mplus. Our aim is to orient participants to the basic structure\, syntax\, data and output associated with this package. Mplus version 8.1 will be used for this workshop. \nNOTE: All researchers are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:SPC Workshop: Introduction to Scientific Computing with Python
DESCRIPTION:November SPC event at UCLA is tentatively scheduled for Thursday\, 11/30 10 am – 12 pm PDT (11 am – 1 pm MDT). It will be a technical workshop on introduction to scientific computing in Python. This is in collaboration with the Institute for Digital Research and Education (IDRE) here at UCLA. Some topics to be covered will include general introduction to programming with Python\, numpy and matplotlib libraries in the context of scientific computing. If this workshop is well received\, we can plan future ones that focus on other aspects of scientific computing\, e.g. high performance computing\, data visualization\, GPU computing\, machine learning\, etc. IDRE can also cover topics in MATLAB or R\, depending on preferences. \nThe event will also be broadcast in real time to the remote sites. Please visit the STROBE event page for more.

SUMMARY:National Leadership Class Computing Resources and Opportunities for UCLA Researchers
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Energy\, National Science Foundation\, and the National Aeronautical Space Agency support an ecosystem of “leadership class” computing facilities housing some of the world’s most advanced supercomputers and high-end visualization and data analysis resources. These facilities provide “free” computing cycles at scale and storage to researchers from academia. Access to these resources is obtained through an application process that is based on the merit of the research objectives\, and demonstration of the efficacy and parallel scalability of the software. \nThe aim of this presentation is to explain the capabilities of various “leadership class” computing facilities. It will also describe the IDRE Pipeline program which helps transition UCLA researchers from local resources and take advantage of these “free” magnificent computing facilities.

SUMMARY:Current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure - Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Digital Research and Education is pleased to announce a panel discussion on current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure (ARC). The discussion will be led by the following early career researchers from various disciplines across the UCLA campus. \n\nBao Wang – Mathematics\nAlan Farahani – Cotsen Institute of Archaeology\nKarthik Sarma – Medical Imaging Informatics\nRichard Sportsman – Chemistry and Biochemistry\nIris Chang – Material Science and Engineering\nFrancesca Albrezzi – World Arts and Cultures\n\nDate: Oct 25\, 2017\nTime: 11:45 AM-1 PM (lunch provided*)\nPlace: 5628 Math Sciences Building \nRSVP: https://idre.ucla.edu/calendar-event/panel-on-arc-oct2017 \nAbout: Decades ago\, it was hard to imagine the scale at which Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure (ARC) at any university would drive the innovation and enhance its research capabilities. Today\, ARC is playing increasingly important role in research involving data\, computation\, communication\, and information sharing. By providing cutting-edge opportunities to researchers\, it enhances faculty competitiveness among peer organizations.  Due to the fast pace of ever-changing technology\, however\, envisaging the future requirements of the ARC  is a daunting exercise. Infrastructure planning requires inputs from various segments across the university especially from the early career researchers who are at the forefront of the use of technology in research. This panel discussion on “Current and future requirements for Advanced Research Cyberinfrastructure” is part of the exercise to get the feedback from the diverse community of early career researchers from the UCLA campus. \n*Since we need the count for lunch\, please make sure to RSVP if you plan to attend the fruitful discussion.
