When you need support from the Anvil team for a complex workflow, or want to discuss your ideas directly with our team, please consider registering for Anvil Support Hour! We will be available every Thursday from 2:00pm-3:00pm EST via Zoom. Reserve your 20-minute slot for our discussion! Topics for our conversation can be about:

High-performance computing (HPC) systems are specialized resources in use and shared by many researchers across all domains of science, engineering, and beyond. In order to distribute these advanced computing resources in an efficient, fair, and organized way, most of the computational workloads run on these systems are executed as batch jobs, which are simply prescripted sets of commands that are executed on a subset of an HPC system’s compute resources for a given amount of time.

In this webinar, we will introduce the storage network, discuss requirements for joining, and address how the OSN can help meet NSF CC* programmatic requirements. We will look at how organizations are using the OSN today, cover common workflows that we support, and look at opportunities on how OSN can be leveraged for future proposals with particular focus on AI/ML and generative AI workloads. We will then conclude with an open discussion to answer any questions.

This short course (2.5 hours) provides an overview of Intel PVC GPUs, guidance on accessing these GPUs on the ACES computing cluster at Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing, and demonstrations of running AI/ML models with the GPUs using PyTorch and Tensorflow. 

Prerequisites: Current ACCESS ID; basic Linux/Unix skills; basic understanding of machine learning concepts, neural networks, and deep learning; familiarity with deep learning frameworks TensorFlow and/or PyTorch. 

Hosted by the OSG Facilitation team, this training will cover what you need to consider when transitioning existing GPU-based code from another computing system to the OSPool. We will review important GPU concepts and terminology and how to request GPUs on the OSPool.

This course introduces concepts of containers and covers common containerization tasks using the Charliecloud and Singularity container engines on the ACES cluster, a composable accelerator testbed at Texas A&M University.
