Smoky Mountain Conference Data Challenge 2022

You are invited to participate in Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s the Smoky Mountains Data Challenge (https://smc-datachallenge.ornl.gov/). It is comprised of 8 data analytics challenges based on data sets contributed by ORNL, Industries, and Academia. Expert data scientists, as well as students, are called to participate. Registration is open until June 23 (hxxps://smc-datachallenge.ornl.gov/registration/). Winners will have an opportunity to publish their solutions and participate in the Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference.

Meetings & Workshops

June 2022 OLCF User Conference call (June 29) 
June 29, noon -1:00 pm EST

The June OLCF User Conference Call will be held from noon until 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 29. During this call, the OLCF Director of Science, Bronson Messer, will be presenting about Frontier. For more information, see the event page at https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/userconcall-jun2022/

Profiling Deep Learning Applications with NVIDIA Nsight
06/30/2022, 11AM – 12PM CT
This event will introduce performance analysis techniques for deep learning applications using the NVIDIA Nsight Systems profiling tool to peek under the covers. The event will cover how to collect performance information for the neural network layers to relate GPU work back to those higher-level concepts, as well as for other sections of code that feed the DNN or consume its results. You will gain deeper insights into the execution and interactions among the processes, OS, GPU CUDA kernels, Tensor Cores, NVLinks, and even nodes. The organizers will discuss ways to access report data for deeper analysis as well as some common pitfalls with both training and inference applications. This is part of the ALCF Developer Series and OLCF and NERSC users are welcome to attend. To register please see: https://www.alcf.anl.gov/events/profiling-deep-learning-applications-nvidia-nsight

Data Visualization & Analytics Series: Jupyter Workflow at OLCFJuly 14 1:00–3:00p.m. EDTThe OLCF is proud to offer the first event of the Data Visualization and Analytics training series: Jupyter Workflow at OLCF. Jupyter notebooks offer a unique environment for users to analyze and process scientific data. The interactive nature of the web interface allows one to debug, visualize, and share code instantly, without having to handle everything on the command-line. This event will provide an overview of how to access Jupyter at OLCF and how to utilize the interface in an analytics setting, including  hands-on examples of how to analyze data generated on OLCF systems, along with a Deep Learning workflow demo run with Jupyter. The hands-on component of this training is limited to 30 users with moderate security enclave projects (i.e. able to access Summit/Andes), although others are welcome to sign up and attend the presentations. Additionally, hands-on examples will be available after the event for Moderate users to access and work with on their own. For more information or to register, see hxxps://www.olcf.ornl.gov/calendar/data-visualization-and-analytics-training-series-jupyter-workflow-at-olcf/.
