Slurm Scheduling Software Documentation
0
Slurm is an open source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and job scheduling system for large and small Linux clusters. Slurm requires no kernel modifications for its operation and is relatively self-contained. As a cluster workload manager, Slurm has three key functions. First, it allocates exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (compute nodes) to users for some duration of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work (normally a parallel job) on the set of allocated nodes. Finally, it arbitrates contention for resources by managing a queue of pending work.
PyTorch Introduction
0
This is a very barebones introduction to the PyTorch framework used to implement machine learning. This tutorial implements a feed-forward neural network and is taught completely asynchronously through Stanford University. A good start after learning the theory behind feed-forward neural networks.

A visual introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation
0
This website is an interactive introduction to Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP). A probabilistic inference algorithm that operates by passing messages between the nodes of arbitrarily structured factor graphs. A special case of loopy belief propagation, GBP updates rely only on local information and will converge independently of the message schedule. The key argument is that, given recent trends in computing hardware, GBP has the right computational properties to act as a scalable distributed probabilistic inference framework for future machine learning systems.

Application Fundamentals (Android)
0
The provided text discusses various aspects of Android app development fundamentals. It covers key concepts related to app components, the AndroidManifest.xml file, and app resources. Android apps are built using various components, including Activities, Services, Broadcast Receivers, and Content Providers. These components serve different purposes and have distinct lifecycles. Activities are used for user interaction, services for background tasks, broadcast receivers for system-wide event handling, and content providers for managing shared data.The AndroidManifest.xml file is essential for declaring app components, permissions, and other settings. It informs the Android system about the app's components and capabilities. For instance, it specifies the minimum API level, declares hardware and software requirements, and defines intent filters to enable components to respond to specific actions.It's crucial to declare app requirements, such as device features and minimum Android API levels, to ensure compatibility with different devices and configurations. These declarations help in filtering the app's availability on Google Play for users with compatible devices.Android apps rely on resources separate from code, including images, layouts, strings, and more. These resources are stored in various directories and can be tailored for different device configurations. Providing alternative resources allows for optimization across different languages, screen sizes, orientations, and other factors.
Understanding these fundamentals is essential for developing Android applications effectively, ensuring compatibility, and providing a consistent user experience across a wide range of devices and configurations.

Feed Forward NNs and Gradient Descent
0
Feed-forward neural networks are a simple type of network that simply rely on data to be "fed-forward" through a series of layers that makes decisions on how to categorize datum. Gradient descent is a type of optimization tool that is often used to train machines. These two areas in ML are good starting points and are the easiest types of neural network/optimization to understand.
