• Version Control with Git

Understand the benefits of an automated version control system and the basics of how automated version control systems work. Configure git the first time it is used on a computer and understand the meaning of the --global configuration flag. Create a local Git repository and describe the purpose of the .git directory. Go through the modify-add-commit cycle for one or more files, explain where information is stored at each stage of that cycle, and distinguish between descriptive and non-descriptive commit messages.

• A Gentle Introduction to Programming with Python (MIT OCW)

This course from MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) covers very basic information on how to get started with programming using Python.

• Finite Difference Implementation for Flow Inside a Cavity With a lid Moving Above

The listed repository contains code written in C++ to model the flow inside a cavity with a lid moving above from left to right by discretizing incompressible N-S equations with finite difference method. For the governing equations, artificial viscosity has been considered to increase the stability. In terms of solving the resulted algebraic equation system, both the Point Jacobi Method and Symmetric Gauss Seidel methods have been used for the iteration process.

• Why 'N How: Martinos

The Why & How seminar series is designed to introduce research assistants, graduate students, and postdoctoral and clinical fellows – really, anyone who is interested – to the many tools used in medical imaging. These include software tools and most of the major imaging modalities wielded by investigators (MRI, PET, EEG, MEG, optical, TMS and others). As the name of the series suggests, the talks cover both the reasons researchers might need a particular tool and the nuts and bolts of how to apply it. You can watch videos of the overviews below.

• json_test.txt
• test.txt

This code showcases how to work with the header-only nlohmann JSON library for C++. In order to compile, change the extensions from json_test.txt to json_test.cpp and test.txt to test.json. You must also download the header files from https://github.com/nlohmann/json. Complilation instructions are at the bottom of json_test. This code is very helpful for creating config files, for example.

• Feed-Forward and SGD

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.

• https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/910572

A tutorial paper that presents a generic message-passing algorithm, the sum-product algorithm, that operates in a factor graph. Following a single, simple computational rule, the sum-product algorithm computes either exactly or approximately various marginal functions derived from the global function. A wide variety of algorithms developed in artificial intelligence, signal processing, and digital communications can be derived as specific instances of the sum-product algorithm, including the forward/backward algorithm, the Viterbi algorithm, the iterative "turbo" decoding algorithm, Pearl's (1988) belief propagation algorithm for Bayesian networks, the Kalman filter, and certain fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms

• Intro to Machine Learning on HPC

This tutorial introduces machine learning on high performance computing (HPC) clusters. While it focuses on the HPC clusters at The University of Arizona, the content is generic enough that it can be used by students from other institutions.

• WRF in the Public Cloud

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.
