Successful applicants will be notified by October 17th. > Synopsis > Making science more reproducible has enormous potential to accelerate scientific advance, including for practicing individuals. Despite this, the tools and approaches that are already available are rarely taught. To address this, we are organizing a 4-day workshop aimed at developing, and later teaching, a short course curriculum for tools, resources, and practices for reproducible science. A part of the workshop will also be devoted to addressing gaps that hinder the broad adoption of such resources. The event will be held December 8-11, 2014, in Durham, NC, at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). We aim to assemble a diverse and interdisciplinary group of participants, and invite those interested to apply by Oct 10 at http://goo.gl/GzS118. > Motivation > As science becomes increasingly more data and computation intensive, maintaining the ability to build on our own or other?s prior work requires that the process that takes data and other inputs all the way to the results presented in a paper is documented and made available in full detail. The concept of reproducible science means that someone else should either be able to obtain the same results given all the documented inputs and the published instructions for processing them, or if not, the reasons why should be apparent from comparing the executed processing steps to the documented ones. > Provided the necessary domain and technical knowledge, and the computational and other resources are available, reproducible science is verifiable and repeatable, two cornerstones of the scientific process. Reproducible science is also becoming a requirement of journals and granting agencies. Aside from obliging journal and funder expectations, the practices that make science reproducible can allow others, including one?s future self, to repeat and extend analyses, for example with new data, new tools, or parameter modifications. That is, making one?s science more reproducible stands to accelerate one?s own research, as well as the ability of science as a whole to build on it. Despite this potential, the tools and best practices that allow scientists to reap the benefits of more reproducible science are only rarely taught, and although many tools and resources already exist, they are scattered and many scientists remain unaware of them. > Event description > To address this, we are organizing a 4-day workshop to develop a short course curriculum for tools, resources, and practices for reproducible science. The goal of this workshop is to identify and subsequently address the teaching needs and technological gaps that hinder the broad adoption of reproducible science in biology. The material developed during this workshop will subsequently be taught at a two-day training workshop. > We aim to assemble a diverse and interdisciplinary group of scientists, educators, and developers, encompassing various levels of experience and a broad set of skills. This includes participants who are familiar with, or even involved with developing tools and technologies under the reproducible science rubric, but also includes scientists and other people enthusiastic to learn more about reproducible science and who are interested in helping to shape the curriculum. > Logistics > Applications are due October 13, 2014.

Also, brew is not required to use the brew python. It has the advantage over ports of being able to work with system python or any other python, if the brew python is not installed. There are people running hybrid anaconda with brew in order to get boost-python working. I would check a couple of things. Is there a PYTHONPATH env var set? Does setting on help?

I promised at the meeting that I'd post the details of the Cuda short courses from Nvidia coming up at UNC Nov 4-5. It looks like they are employee only as they require registration. But here are the details anyway for those than can take advantage of them: The response to our survey on interest in GPU Programming was outstanding and we are pleased to announce that Nvidia will be coming to the UNC campus to offer two days of GPU training. The workshops will be held on November 4th and November 5th in the Upendo Room (rooms 1118/1119) in the SASB building (Student & Academic Services Buildings) on South Campus. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Space is somewhat limited so please register at http://learnit.unc.edu/workshops so that we can have an accurate head count. The registration is split into the two days, please register for each day you will attend. The room will be open and refreshments available beginning at 8:00 each morning. The agenda is: This class will be in the Upendo Room (rooms 1118/1119) in the SASB building on South Campus. Day 1 (8:30 - 4:30) Morning: Intro to GPU computing (no programming) Intro to CUDA C/C++ (+ hands-on) CUDA basic optimizations (+ hands-on) Afternoon: Working with GPU Libraries (CUBLAS, CUSPARSE) (+hands-on) GPU Graphical tools (profiler, nsight EE, debugging) (+ workshop/demo, no hands-on) Day 2 (8:30 - 4:00) Morning: Intro to OpenACC (+ hands-on) OpenACC basic optimizations (+ hands-on) Afternoon: Thrust: GPU programming for the C++ STL programmer (+ hands-on) Wrap-up, Q+A, missed topics, next steps To register and to see a full course description visit http://learnit.unc.edu/workshops -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway, Applications Analyst UNC Renaissance Computing Institute 100 Europa Drive, Suite 540, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 (919) 599-3530 From laffra at gmail.com Sat Oct 25 20:06:58 2014 From: laffra at gmail.com (Chris Laffra) Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 14:06:58 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] Cuda Short Courses at UNC In-Reply-To: <544B9F7D.3060009@unc.edu> References: <544B9F7D.3060009@unc.edu> Message-ID: I get this when I visit that URL: On Saturday, October 25, 2014, Chris Calloway wrote: > Michael Fogelman did the best live coding demo I've ever seen at the > meeting two days ago... > > I promised at the meeting that I'd post the details of the Cuda short > courses from Nvidia coming up at UNC Nov 4-5.

The Advanced Research Techniques (ART) Forum for the American Marketing Association has issued its annual call for papers: https://www.ama.org/events-training/Conferences/Pages/Advanced-Research-Techniques-%28ART%29-Forum.aspx This is a really good conference for people doing advanced machine learning and data mining applied to marketing. There is a "Big Data" track and a Text Mining track that people on this list might find especially appealing. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks very much!

OK, I guess "works for me" isn't working. I did what I could to pass along the promised information as I received it. I'm across the pond now and for the next two weeks, however, and not in a position to do anything about it. I realistically don't expect non-employees to be able to register anyway.

Not certain if anyone forgot to check the UNC info I left blank. I'll let you know if they boot me out :-p. Thanks for providing the pointer to their class. -- Best regards, Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
