SUMMARY:Parallel Parallel Computing 2: MPI Programming
DESCRIPTION:MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a standardized interface for writing portable distributed-memory parallel scientific code. The portability of MPI ensures the same MPI program works the same way on different platforms\, ranging from laptop computers to massively parallel supercomputers. MPI has been widely used in advanced simulations\, data analysis and visualization in the last three decades. An MPI program typically launches a set of processes distributed across multiple CPU cores or compute nodes. Each process would perform a part of the computations and the processes communicate with each other as needed. The communication is transparently controlled by the user code (which makes MPI calls)\, and the processes are managed by the MPI runtime system\, which can also be controlled by the user. This workshop series introduces MPI for scientific computing from a user’s perspective:\n– 2. MPI programming: This session demonstrates the basic use of MPI in a program. The examples include calling MPI from Fortran\, C/C++\, Python and Julia languages to send and receive data across multiple processes.\nTo register: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqcOGupzgrEt3QJUPLfOV-IerYwH9X_DDD \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Shao-Ching Huang at sch@ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqcOGupzgrEt3QJUPLfOV-IerYwH9X_DDD

SUMMARY:Introduction to Mplus
DESCRIPTION:Mplus is a powerful statistical package used for the analysis of 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. The program can handle a combination of categorical and continuous variables and often permits missing data. It integrates these analyses into a single framework where you can combine techniques like growth curve modeling and latent class analysis to ask unique questions\, such as “Are there latent classes among the growth trajectories?”. This workshop is designed for people who are just getting started using Mplus to orient them to the nuts and bolts of using this package. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Christine Wells at crwells@ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkcu6prjsjHtfHvKPr77kTl82_s2IpV03V

SUMMARY:3-D in-silico investigations of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Alp Karakoç\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Fellow\nUCLA Civil and Environmental Engineering\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \n  \nLocation: Virtual \nRegistration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwude6opjIqGtfAd7WrSbjVWgtujflTP2l1\n \n  \nAbstract: As life expectancy increases\, there are ever-increasing cases of age-related diseases that takes medical attention. As being the second most common valvular lesion in the United States\, aortic stenosis (AS) is present in about 5% of the population at and above age 65 with increasing prevalence. In AS cases\, the calcium deposition in the aortic root and valve inhibits the proper functioning of the leaflets and causes further symptoms comprising\, e.g. embolism\, stroke and sudden death. Advances and innovations in medicine\, computational and materials sciences have paved the way for minimally invasive and percutaneous interventions in the treatment of AS. In recent years\, catheter-based treatment of aortic stenosis with “Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement” (TAVR) has quickly been adopted as an alternative to the surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) because of the percutaneous approach with improved survival and stroke rates. Present transcatheter valve prostheses are composed of unpressurized leaflet valves\, stent and skirt\, while the correct deployment of these prostheses and stent adaptation are important to ensure optimal performance and durability. Hence\, 3-D in-silico investigations of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs)\, i.e. digitized designs and simulations for realistic physiological loads\, play a critical role not only in investigating the relevant clinical scenarios but also provide a powerful foundation for development of future heart valves with long-term functions. In this seminar\, Dr. Karakoç will present basic concepts and state-of-the-art in aortic valve replacement procedures\, and his current efforts on the 3-D in-silico investigations. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Alp Karakoç is a researcher in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department\, working with Dr. Ertugrul Taciroglu and collaborating with Dr. Olcay Aksoy at School of Medicine\, Clinical Research in Interventional Cardiology. His research interests include experimental and computational materials mechanics\, fluid-structure interactions and emerging digitized manufacturing methods\, through which different material length scales can be well comprehended and even prototyped. He has been developing micromechanical and multiscale models for hierarchical material systems comprising cellular core\, fibrous and composite materials as well as metamaterials which are not readily available in the nature. In addition to the numerical studies\, he has gained experience in experimental mechanics\, where he carried out strain measurement and domain reconstruction studies with digital image processing and machine learning algorithms. At the moment\, he has been focusing on biomedical simulation studies\, especially virtualization of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) so as to understand both the structural behavior of prosthetic valve and human tissue surrounding it. He hopes that his investigations as part of UCLA IDRE program will lead to a healthier and happier society with lower risks of morbidity and mortality.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Linux Shell Part 2: Shell Scripting
DESCRIPTION:Shell scripts enable users to link together multiple Linux commands into a single executable program. They can save users from a lot of wasted time\, effort\, and headache. For example\, many researchers execute many different steps and run several different programs during their process of transforming raw data into analyzable results and ultimately into polished data products that can be published. This process can be tedious and error-prone\, and sometimes it’s not easy to reproduce. With shell scripts\, you can automate the execution of lengthy and repetitive tasks and store commonly executed commands for repeated use. This workshop will be an interactive introduction to shell scripting and help you to learn the fundamentals necessary to advance as an effective user of the Linux shell. Basic knowledge of using the command line will be assumed. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Ben Winjum at bwinjum@oarc.ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpcu2vpj4vGt02zpl-HFwDpCYwHYr5nLjK?_x_zm_rtaid=IXaWZ5FCQfer7ZlC70Pbaw.1662145101532.cb91ec46b9833169a31e68806ae0f2ab&_x_zm_rhtaid=414

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Linux Shell Part 1: Using the Command Line
DESCRIPTION:The most widely used way to interact with computers is through a graphical user interface\, for example\, the desktop interface of Microsoft Windows or Mac OS. However\, you can also use a text interface to interact with your computer (or with a computing system like Hoffman2). This can variously be referred to as the command line\, terminal\, shell\, console\, or prompt\, and while it may appear complex at first sight\, it offers a lot of power and flexibility for telling the computer what to do. This workshop will introduce you to the command line and walk you through a variety of fundamental concepts and commands. The command line is available in many operating systems\, though here we’ll use Linux. No prior knowledge is assumed. By the end\, you will hopefully be much more comfortable when you have to use the command line. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to Ben Winjum at bwinjum@oarc.ucla.edu.  \nPresented by the Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC). \nRegister here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0ucOqsqTguHde25twQqXpuZCCI-KtIqAmB?_x_zm_rtaid=IXaWZ5FCQfer7ZlC70Pbaw.1662145101532.cb91ec46b9833169a31e68806ae0f2ab&_x_zm_rhtaid=414

SUMMARY:Machine Learning of the Ocean Overturning Circulation
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Aviv Solodoch\, Ph.D.\nIDRE Scholar\,\nAtmospheric and Oceanic Sciences\,\nUniversity of California Los Angeles \nLocation: Virtual (Click here for the recording)  \n  \nAbstract: The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the oceans is a fundamental circulation pattern whereby surface water cool and densify in polar regions\, and subsequently sink to great depths. These dense waters then spread horizontally at depth to cover virtually all deep ocean basins globally. The MOC has critical roles in the climate system\, including influencing global circulation patterns and heat fluxes\, and regulating the amount of anthropogenic heat and CO2 that is absorbed into the deep ocean\, buffering the advance of climate change. Therefore\, monitoring MOC variability and its interaction with climate change are of fundamental importance. In-situ monitoring of the MOC presents significant technological and logistical challenges due to the global extent of this circulation pattern. However\, some aspects of ocean circulation are now regularly measured via satellite remote sensing\, e.g.\, sea surface elevation and ocean bottom pressure. Therefore\, we develop a methodology to monitor MOC variability based on machine learning of satellite-measured ocean properties. We test this methodology within a data-constrained numerical simulation of the oceans\, i.e.\, using its output “satellite-observable’’ variables and MOC strength series as the ocean “truth’’. \nWe find that\, using a simple 1-layer feed-forward Neural Network (NN) with Bayesian regularization\, the MOC time-variability across most latitudes can be reconstructed with high skill. The reconstruction skill is higher than that of previously published dynamically based methods. To gain insight into the relations learned by the NN we use machine-learning interpretability techniques\, showing for example that most of the Southern Ocean MOC reconstruction skill is due to data from just a few key locations (mainly large seabed ridges)\, qualitatively consistent with fundamental physical theory. We further examine which satellite observables hold the most potential for MOC reconstruction. Finally\, we evaluate the robustness of the methodology and discuss a roadmap for implementing the method with real satellite data. \nAbout speaker: Aviv Solodoch obtained a BSc in Math and Physics from Tel Aviv University\, and a MSc in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. He later completed a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at UCLA\, where he is currently a postdoctoral researcher. During his MSc\, Aviv investigated air-sea interaction and heat exchange. During his PhD\, Aviv investigated processes causing instability\, offshore material exchange\, and vortex formation in oceanic currents\, using both numerical simulations and theory\, with a focus on currents which form part of the overturning circulation in the North Atlantic. Aviv also conducted observational research with UCLA Marine Operations\, studying coastal circulation dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico. He is presently studying the overturning circulation in the Southern Ocean\, as well as the dynamics of transport of material between the coastal and deep ocean regions.

SUMMARY:Hoffman2 Happy Hour: Building/Compiling software on Hoffman2
DESCRIPTION:This Hoffman2 Happy Hour will discuss how to build and compile software on Hoffman2. This can also be applied to most HPC resources that researchers may use. While Hoffman2 system admins can compile software when needed\, researchers can compile software themselves\, so they have more control over how it is built. We will go over the process of compiling software is users’ directories and run them on Hoffman2. We will also go over Make/CMake\, GCC and Intel compilers\, and properly linking libraries\, esp. Math libraries required to compile software. This is NOT a programming workshop and programming skills are NOT required. We will only be discussing building/compiling existing software. \nAny questions about this workshop can be emailed to cpeterson@oarc.ucla.edu.  \nRegistration here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEudeyvrTgjH9dctzwn3EFqBRsAH0mANWKz
