All Things AI: April 2025

Posted on By Daphne McCanse
  1. NAIRR Pilot Office Hours April 9: Office Hours are hosted by SCIPE Cyberinfrastructure Professionals (CIPs) who are happy to assist with questions related to active NAIRR Pilot awards. CIPs in the SCIPE program come from a diverse set of scientific disciplines and institutions, which may not be the institution hosting your allocated resource. Providing a detailed description of your issue/help request at the time of registration will give us an opportunity to prepare for your consultation. SCIPE CIPs will connect you with the appropriate Resource Provider staff if your issue isn’t resolved during Office Hours.
  2. Workshop: GPU Programming Using OpenACC April 9 from Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. Onsite locations are being hosted at NSCA and other remote locations.
  3. ACES: AlphaFold Protein Structure Prediction Course April 8 from Texas A&M: This short course (2.5 hours) will allow users to work through a hands-on tutorial covering how to run AlphaFold utilizing NVIDIA GPUs on the ACES cluster, a composable accelerator testbed at Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing.
  4. ACES: GPU Programming Course April 22 from Texas A&M: This short course covers basic topics in CUDA programming on NVIDIA GPUs.
  5. Cyberinsfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning Summer Institute from San Diego Supercomputer Center: A three-day institute that teaches machine learning (ML) concepts to researchers, students, developers, and educators. Application deadline April 11, 2025.
  6. HPC and Data Science Summer Institute from San Diego Supercomputer Center: A comprehensive week-long workshop that covers introductory-to-intermediate topics in HPC, data science, and artificial intelligence (AI). It aims to give attendees a thorough overview of these topics to accelerate their learning process through highly interactive classes and hands-on tutorials on the Expanse supercomputer. Application deadline April 25, 2025.
  7. Advanced HPC-CI Webinar Series: Porting your AI application to Voyager Gaudi Architecture April 8: This tutorial will cover how to run a Deep Learning (DL) model, based on the Pytorch framework, on the SDSC Voyager supercomputer.
