Knowledge Base Resources
These resources have been contributed and “vetted” by the community of cyberinfrastructure professionals (researchers, research computing facilitators, research software engineers and HPC system administrators) that are participating in programs such as this one, that are supported by the ConnectCI community management platform. Additional Knowledge Base Resources are always welcome!
WRF in the Public Cloud
0
CAC summer student employee Jeff Lantz describes his experiences in running the WRF weather forecasting application in the public cloud. He compares the major cloud providers and some container-based deployment technologies that are available on each, with a particular emphasis on Docker and Kubernetes. Since WRF is a computationally intensive numerical simulation, Jeff had to pay special attention to certain HPC characteristics of the code, such as the need to launch multiple communicating MPI processes on one or more cloud instances, and the need to set up an NFS file server to satisfy I/O requirements.
Data Analysis with R for Educators
0
This webinar series is an orientation to R. We start with an overview of R’s history and place in the larger data science ecosystem. Next, we introduce the R Studio user interface and how to access R’s excellent documentation. Finally, we present the fundamental concepts you need to use the R environment and language for data analysis. Along the way, we compare R script files (.R) to R Notebook (.Rmd) files and show how the features of R Notebook support better communication and encourage more dynamic engagement with statistical analysis and code. It is helpful to be familiar with tabular data analysis using statistical software, database tools, or spreadsheet programs.
Workshop materials, including setup directions and slides are available at https://github.com/CornellCAC/r_for_edu/ The Rstudio Cloud project used in the workshop is https://rstudio.cloud/project/4044219.
Displaying Scientific Data with Tableau
0
Tableau is a popular and capable software product for creating charts that present data and dashboards that allow you to explore data. It is typically used to present business or statistical data, but can also create compelling visualizations of scientific data. However, scientific data is often generated or stored in formats that are not immediately accessible by Tableau. This seminar will explore the data formats that work best with Tableau and the available mechanisms for generating scientific data in (or converting it to) those formats so that you can apply the full power of Tableau to create the best possible visualizations of your data.
Python Tools for Data Science
0
Python has become a very popular programming language and software ecosystem for work in Data Science, integrating support for data access, data processing, modeling, machine learning, and visualization. In this webinar, we will describe some of the key Python packages that have been developed to support that work, and highlight some of their capabilities. This webinar will also serve as an introduction and overview of topics addressed in two Cornell Virtual Workshop tutorials, available at https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci1 and https://cvw.cac.cornell.edu/pydatasci2
Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning
0
CS244N is a renowned natural language processing course offered by Stanford University and taught by Christopher Manning. It covers a wide range of topics in NLP, including language modeling, machine translation, sentiment analysis, and more. It teaches both foundational concepts and cutting-edge research to gain a comprehensive understanding of NLP techniques and applications.
