SUMMARY:Using Git Tools to Manage File Changes and Collaborate: Version Control
DESCRIPTION:Version control is the practice of managing and sharing changes to documents\, programming code\, websites or any other files to keep track of what’s been changed\, by whom\, when and why. All previous versions of files are saved and you can even revert to a previous version. Git is a version control software. \nGit-portal sites\, like GitHub or GitLab\, offer many useful features to facilitate collaborative development. \nThis two-part series introduces participants to Git tools. The first session on November 21st focuses on version control. The second workshop on November 28th will explore using Git for collaborative development. \nTuesday\, November 21st\, 1:00 – 4:30 pm (Atlantic time) \n****************** \nThis beginner level session will introduce you to Git. We will show you how to create a repository\, record changes to files\, explore and restore from the recorded history and how to resolve conflicts (when one member overwrites another’s changes). \nAttendees should have a computer (Windows\, Linux or MacOS) on which they install Git before the workshop\, following the instructions on https://carpentries.github.io/workshop-template/#git \nYou will also need to sign up for a free GitHub account at https://github.com/ and know your username and password. \nLesson Material: http://github-pages.ucl.ac.uk/git-novice/ \nThis session will be delivered online. \nParticipants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email\, i.e. gmail). \nConnection details for the session will be sent out beforehand only to those registered with institutional/organizational email addresses.

SUMMARY:ACENET: Cloud from A to Z
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisites: Software Carpentry’s Unix Shell or Introduction to Linux or similar experience \nCloud computing provides great flexibility allowing complete control of the computing environment. In addition the environment can be copied\, backed up\, created and recreated in an automated way. In these lessons we will start you on the path towards making use of the great flexibility and power of cloud computing. \nA common use case for the cloud is its ability to provide web services. To explore the flexibility and power of cloud computing we will use the popular static website generator Jekyll. Static website generators offer many security benefits\, and simplify and reduce the maintenance burden associated with well known dynamic CMSes such as WordPress and Durpal. \nThis workshop will take place on: \nTuesday\, October 17th – 1:00-4:00pm (ADT) \nThursday\, October 19th – 1:00-4:00pm (ADT) \nTuesday\, October 24th – 1:00-4:00pm (ADT) \nThursday\, October 26th – 1:00-4:00pm (ADT) \nParticipants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email\, ie. gmail). \nYou will need to have your own laptop or desktop on which you can install the required software (see the setup for more details). \nInstructions for how to join the workshop will be sent out prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:ACENET Basics: Job Scheduling with Slurm
DESCRIPTION:The national systems use a job scheduler called “Slurm”. In this session you will learn how Slurm works and how it allocates jobs\, helping you to: minimize wait time by framing reasonable requests; ask for only the resources you need\, to improve efficiency; increase throughput; run more jobs simultaneously; and troubleshoot and address crashes. This workshop is designed for new HPC users\, or for experienced users either transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler. \nThis workshop is designed for either new HPC users familiar with Linux and Shell Scripting\, but who have not had experience with using Slurm\, or\, for experienced users transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler. \nThis session will be delivered online. \nTo get the most from ACENET basics\, please register for a Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) account. To register contact your supervising professor\, ask for their CCRI\, then visit https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca/account_application. If your professor is not registered with the Alliance\, please have them register\, then follow up with you. In addition to an Alliance account\, you will want a computer with Windows\, MacOS X\, or a Unix-based operating system (not a ChromeBook)\, and a stable internet connection. A registered account is not mandatory\, just recommended to get the most out of our lessons. You can attend the first session to see how ACENET can assist in accelerating your computational research before you decide to obtain an account\, if you wish. \nParticipants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email\, ie. gmail). \nConnections details for the session as well as further preparation information will be sent out prior to the session.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Natural Language Processing
DESCRIPTION:Join ACENET for a brief introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP). \nHow do computers understand language? It seems impossible that zeroes and ones could ever add up to words that humans can understand\, but machine language has come a long way in the past few years. Let us take you behind the code to explain how machines simulate language comprehension\, and why it’s a far more complicated problem than “bonjour = hello”. This talk is aimed at an audience who is not necessarily familiar with computers or language comprehension\, but would like a primer to the field\, and what it can realistically do. We will explain natural language processing from the perspective of machines that cannot understand words\, but capture semantic meaning by processing data. \nThis session will take place on: \nThursday\, April 6th – 12:00pm – 3:00pm (Atlantic time) \nYou do need to have a laptop with a Mac\, Linux or Windows operating system (not a tablet\, Chromebook\, etc) on which you have administrative privileges\, as you will need to pre-load specific software packages. \nParticipants must register using their institutional / organizational email address (not a personal email\, ie. gmail) \nInstructions for how to join will be sent out one day prior to the start of the event.
