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.

Big Data Research at the University of Colorado Boulder
0
Background: Big data, defined as having high volume, complexity or velocity, have the potential to greatly accelerate research discovery. Such data can be challenging to work with and require research support and training to address technical and ethical challenges surrounding big data collection, analysis, and publication.
Methods: The present study was conducted via a series of semi-structured interviews to assess big data methodologies employed by CU Boulder researchers across a broad sample of disciplines, with the goal of illuminating how they conduct their research; identifying challenges and needs; and providing recommendations for addressing them.
Findings: Key results and conclusions from the study indicate: gaps in awareness of existing big data services provided by CU Boulder; open questions surrounding big data ethics, security and privacy issues; a need for clarity on how to attribute credit for big data research; and a preference for a variety of training options to support big data research.
Introductory Tutorial to Numpy and Pandas for Data Analysis
0
In this tutorial, I present an overview with many examples of the use of Numpy and Pandas for data analysis. Beginners in the field of data analysis can find It incredibly helpful, and at the same time, anyone who already has experience in data analysis and needs a refresher can find value in it. I discuss the use of Numpy for analyzing 1D and 2D multidimensional data and an introduction on using Pandas to manipulate CSV files.

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.
Displaying Scientific Data with Tableau

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.
