- OpenHPC: Beyond the Install Guide0Materials for the "OpenHPC: Beyond the Install Guide" half-day tutorial, first offered at PEARC24. The goal of this repository is to let instructors or self-learners to construct one or more OpenHPC 3.x virtual environments, for those environments to be as close as possible to the defaults from the OpenHPC installation guide, and to then use those environments to demonstrate several topics beyond the basic installation guide. Topics include: 1. Building a login node that's practically identical to a compute node (except for where it needs to be different) 2. Adding more security to the SMS and login node 3. Using node-local storage for the OS and/or scratch 4. De-coupling the SMS and the compute nodes (e.g., independent kernel versions) 5. GPU driver installation (simulated/recorded, not live) 6. Easier management of node differences (GPU or not, diskless/single-disk/multi-disk, Infiniband or not, etc.) 7. Slurm configuration to match some common policy goals (fair share, resource limits, etc.)

- Rockfish at Johns Hopkins University0Resources and User Guide available at Rockfish
- Examples of Thrust code for GPU Parallelization0Some examples for writing Thrust code. To compile, download the CUDA compiler from NVIDIA. This code was tested with CUDA 9.2 but is likely compatible with other versions. Before compiling change extension from thrust_ex.txt to thrust_ex.cu. Any code on the device (GPU) that is run through a Thrust transform is automatically parallelized on the GPU. Host (CPU) code will not be. Thrust code can also be compiled to run on a CPU for practice.

- Regular Expressions0
- Learn Regular Expressions with simple, interactive exercises
- An online tool to learn, build, & test Regular Expressions
- An Online tool that lets you enter your own text and regular expressions to see what matches
Regular expressions (sometimes referred to as RegEx) is an incredibly powerful tool that is used to define string patterns for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular Expressions are used in search engines, in search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, and text-processing Linux utilities such as sed and awk. They are supported in many programming languages, including Python, R, Perl, Java, and others. - Paraview UArizona HPC links (beginner)0
- University of Arizona Visualization homepage
- Getting Started with Paraview
- Paraview Cameras and Keyframes
- Graphs and Data Exporting
- Visualizing netcdf files
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.
