GPU Acceleration in Python
0
This tutorial explains how to use Python for GPU acceleration with libraries like CuPy, PyOpenCL, and PyCUDA. It shows how these libraries can speed up tasks like array operations and matrix multiplication by using the GPU. Examples include replacing NumPy with CuPy for large datasets and using PyOpenCL or PyCUDA for more control with custom GPU kernels. It focuses on practical steps to integrate GPU acceleration into Python programs.

Vulkan Support Survey across Systems
0
It's not uncommon to see beautiful visualizations in HPC center galleries, but the majority of these are either rendered off the HPC or created using programs that run on OpenGL or custom rasterization techniques. To put it simply the next generation of graphics provided by OpenGL's successor Vulkan is strangely absent in the super computing world. The aim of this survey of available resources is to determine the systems that can support Vulkan workflows and programs. This will assist users in getting past some of the first hurdles in using Vulkan in HPC contexts.
Cyber Security

Often when working with GIS, or spatial data, one encounters the word "datum" and it may require that you choose a "datum" when doing GIS computation tasks. Below is a short video on what are datums from NOAA and UCAR.
A guide to pip in Python
0
pip stands for "pip installs packages". It's the go-to package manager for Python, allowing developers to install, update, and manage software libraries and dependencies used in Python projects. With just a few commands in your terminal or command prompt, pip makes it effortless to fetch libraries from the Python Package Index (PyPI) and integrate them into your projects. This guide will walk you through the basics of pip, from installation to advanced package management.

Working with Python on HPC Clusters
0
This tutorial series and documentation covers topics on using Python on HPC clusters. The specific steps are based on the HOPPER cluster at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. They should be implementable on most HPC clusters that have the SLURM scheduler installed, the Environment Modules system for managing packages and Open onDemand for a web-based GUI to access the cluster resources.
Paraview UArizona HPC links (beginner)
0
These links take you to visualization resources supported by the University of Arizona's HPC visualization consultant (rtdatavis.github.io). The following links are specific to the Paraview program and the workflows that have been used my researchers at the U of Arizona. Some of the pages linked are very beginner friendly: getting started, working with cameras and keyframes for rendering, visualizing external files (netcdf climate data), graphs and data exporting.
Many of the workflows involve using remote desktops via the Open On Demand interface, but if this isn't set up at your university you can use paraview locally on a desktop. Feel free to post on access ci https://ask.cyberinfrastructure.org/ if you need assistance getting a paraview gui open for your work on HPC.
