SUMMARY:Scientific Computing using PETSc (Part 2/2)
DESCRIPTION:The PETSc library contains a number of reusable data structures and solvers for linear and nonlinear systems of equations that can greatly simplify the programming work of scientific computing. While it is possible to code everything “from scratch” using MPI and C/C++/Fortran\, some may find code written reusing PETSc’s data structures are easier to maintain and extend in the long term. This class will first discuss a number of common scenarios in scientific computing (such as solving a partial differential equation)\, expose their common data structures\, and explain how to implement them using PETSc. We will also discuss how to interface PETSc to many other computational libraries. This is Part 2/2; you are expected to also attend Part 1/2 on March 10.Sign up here

SUMMARY:Profiling – Code clinic session
DESCRIPTION:Optimization and parallel scalability of software are essential for  High performance computing. The Department of Energy\, National Science Foundation\, and the National Aeronautical Space Agency  support an ecosystem of “leadership class” computing facilities that include several of the world’s most advanced supercomputers as well as high-end visualization and data analysis resources.  Access to these resources is freely available to those who can demonstrate that their research topic requires these resources and that their software can  utilize these resources. \nThe IDRE Pipeline program aims to transition UCLA researchers from local resources such as Hoffman2 and take advantage of the free magnificent “leadership class” computing facilities. A first step in optimizing and improving the parallel scalability of software so it can run effectively on leadership class facilities is  profiling the software whereby one identifies how much computing time is spent within various subroutines\, how well the code runs on one computing core\, and how well it scales on many computing cores. \nThe purpose of this session is to describe few basic profiling techniques and help researchers at UCLA in gaining more insight into how well their application code runs on Hoffman2 or even larger systems. \nIn particular we focus on:\nLearning profiling techniques that are available on Hoffman2.\nProviding hands on examples – bring your own software. \nPrerequisite: User account on hoffman2 – apply here if not a user already\,  own laptop to access the Hoffman2 cluster\, and  your software on Hoffman2. \nRSVP: http://cfapps.ats.ucla.edu/cfapps/events/rsvp/RSVPNow.cfm?EveID=3414&SecID=3403

SUMMARY:National Leadership Class Computing Resources and Opportunities for UCLA Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Location: 5628 Math Science\, Visualization Portal \nDate and Time: Feb 3 2015 – 2:00pm – 3:00pm \nUCLA-IDRE has an impressive and a very useful Hoffman2 computing infrastructure. It has grown from initial 256 cores to current 12\,000+ cores in a short span of time. It serves a large number of research scientists and enable them to achieve new heights within their computing research. \nThis large size of compute infrastructure is of great help but it may still fall short of computing needs that require extremely large parallel scaling or large memory on a single node. 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 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 to utilize such computing resources. \nThe aim of this presentation is to explain the capabilities of various leadership class computing facilities in USA. Also it will introduce the opportunities and resources available to UCLA researchers in terms of knowledge base\, allocation process as well as in terms of scaling or optimizing their software to better utilize such compute resources. \nSign up Here\n

SUMMARY:IDRE Tech Talk: Building and Linking Local Regional and National Cyberinfrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana researchers and universities have been involved in a concentrated\, collaborative effort to advance state-wide cyberinfrastructure: computing systems\, data storage systems\, advanced instruments and data repositories\, visualization environments\, and people\, all linked together by software and high performance networks. This effort led to a set of interlinked projects that started making a significant difference to the state and created an environment that encouraged increased collaboration. Part of this environment included participation in the US National TeraGrid infrastructure\, and US National networks. This talk describes the overall effort\, the new projects and environment\, the results\, and the lessons learned. RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Cuda
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 30\, 2014\n Time: 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\n Location: 5628 Math Science\, IDRE Portal \nGPUs are an integral part of most of the computer systems and are well known to have capabilities for numeric computations. Although few efforts have been made in the past to use these devices for general computing but the recent emergence of high level programming languages through CUDA has really made it possible to use GPUs without going through a steep learning curve. \nThe objective of this introductory class is to give an introduction to CUDA. This session will be of particular interest to those who want to develop computational codes or port existing codes that may use GPUs as compute engine. \nPrerequisite: Working knowledge of C/C++. \nRSVP online:  http://cfapps.ats.ucla.edu/cfapps/events/rsvp/RSVPNow.cfm?EveID=3382&SecID=3371

SUMMARY:Geoffrey Robinson & Jill Forshee: Perspectives on Timor-Leste
DESCRIPTION:The island of Timor is divided into an independent sovereign state of Timor-Leste and West Timor\, which is part of Indonesia. Timor-Leste’s complex history includes a period of Indonesian occupation from 1975 to 1999. \nIn this two-part program\, UCLA professor of history Geoffrey Robinson discusses the recent political history of Timor-Leste and its efforts to achieve justice and reconciliation since independence. \nFollowing Robinson’s talk\, independent scholar and contributor to the Textiles of Timor exhibition catalogue Jill Forshee delves into the political stories of the Timorese weavers’ experiences during the occupation and into current times—highlighting their textiles as personal registers of life histories. \nThe program is introduced by the Fowler’s senior curator of Asian and Pacific collections and Textiles of Timor exhibition co-curator Roy Hamilton.
