• phenoACCESS-24: Workshop on Research Computing and Plant Phenotyping

phenoACCESS-24: Workshop on Research Computing and Plant Phenotyping High-throughput plant phenotyping is computationally intensive, requiring data storage, data processing and analysis, research computing expertise, and mechanisms for data sharing. This workshop is aimed at research computing workforce development by addressing questions such as what is plant phenotyping; what types of data are collected; what are the preprocessing and analytical needs; what tools and platforms exist for data capture, management, analysis, and storage; and how best to collaborate and engage with phenotyping researchers. The full-day agenda will include speakers (scientists and research compute staff); panel discussions (how to work with research computing staff and facilities; how to engage with phenotyping scientists), and networking opportunities (meet-and-greet, ice breakers, small group discussions). The videos and slide decks for the talks are included on the linked page.

• Slurm Documentation

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.

• DAGMan
• DAGMan Workflows

DAGMan (Directed Acyclic Graph Manager) is a meta-scheduler for HTCondor. It manages dependencies between jobs at a higher level than the HTCondor Scheduler. It is a workflow management system developed by the High-Throughput Computing (HTC) community, specifically for managing large-scale scientific computations and data analysis tasks. It enables users to define complex workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). In a DAG, nodes represent individual computational tasks, and the directed edges represent dependencies between the tasks. DAGMan manages the execution of these tasks and ensures that they are executed in the correct order based on their dependencies. The primary purpose of DAGMan is to simplify the management of large-scale computations that consist of numerous interdependent tasks. By defining the dependencies between tasks in a DAG, users can easily express the order of execution and allow DAGMan to handle the scheduling and coordination of the tasks. This simplifies the development and execution of complex scientific workflows, making it easier to manage and track the progress of computations.

• Map Projections

In GIS, projections are helpful to take something plotted on a globe and convert it to a flat map that we can print or show on a screen. Unfortunately it also introduces distortions to the objects and features on the map. This not only distorts the objects visually, but the results for any spatial attribute calculations will also reflect this distortion (such as distance and area ). Below is a link to a quick primer on projections, types of distortions that can occur, and suggestions on how to choose a correct projection for your work.
