Using Dask on HPC Systems
A tutorial on the effective use of Dask on HPC resources. The four-hour tutorial will be split into two sections, with early topics focused on novice Dask users and later topics focused on intermediate usage on HPC and associated best practices. The knowledge areas covered include (but are not limited to): Beginner section High-level collections including dask.array and dask.dataframe Distributed Dask clusters using HPC job schedulers Earth Science data analysis using Dask with Xarray Using the Dask dashboard to understand your computation Intermediate section Optimizing the number of workers and memory allocation Choosing appropriate chunk shapes and sizes for Dask collections Querying resource usage and debugging errors
