SUMMARY:Advanced Topics in Scientific Visualization with Blender: Geometry\, Scripts\, Animation\, Action!
DESCRIPTION:This course is a follow-up to our introductory Blender course. We assume you are familiar with working with Blender and have some experience with topics such as the Blender UI\, 3D meshes\, materials\, lighting and cameras. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\nCourse Setup\nIn this course you will learn a number of advanced Blender topics: \n* The basics of the Python API that is available in Blender. You will learn how the API is structured and eventually start making some simple geometry with code. This can be used\, for example\, for writing custom import scripts or to perform operations that you would otherwise do manually. \n* The node-based shader editor that is used to create and edit materials. In our introductory Blender course we did go into detail on materials\, but without describing the node-based shader networks that are the basis of materials. Here\, we go deeper into these node network and how to edit them. \n* More advanced animation topics\, such as shape keys. \nAnother important part of the course is that you will work on a visualization based on your own research or other endeavors. \nThe basis of the course is self-paced training during 10 days\, using course materials that we provide (videos and exercises) and with some short online sessions. During the course period you can work on the materials in your own pace. We provide a Discord communication channel with the course teachers that you can use for questions and feedback during the course. We use a small number of online plenary sessions spread over the indicated two-week period\, beginning with an introductory webinar of two hours and follow-up feedback sessions. These are used to discuss your projects and make sure you are able to make progress. \nPrerequisites\n\nBasic knowledge of Blender: getting around the interface\, making and adding geometry\, some basics on materials\nBasic knowledge of Python\nAn idea and/or some data for your own project to work on during the course.\nYou will need to have your own laptop with Blender installed (http://www.blender.org)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up

SUMMARY:Introduction Scientific Visualisation with Blender: Data\, Lights\, Camera\, Action!
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to make 3D visualizations that are visually more attractive than what ParaView or VisIt can provide? Do you need an image for a grant application that needs to look spectacular? Would you like to create a cool animation of your simulation data? Then this course may be for you! \nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGoal\nThe goal of this course is to provide you with hands-on knowledge to produce great images and basic animations from 3D scientific data. We will be using the open-source package Blender (http://www.blender.org)\, which provides good basic functionality\, while also being usable for advanced usage and general editing of 3D data. It is also a lot of fun to work with (once you get used to its graphical interface). \nExample types of relevant scientific data are 3D cell-based simulations\, 3D models from photogrammetry\, (isosurfaces of) 3D medical scans\, molecular models and earth sciences data. Note that we don’t focus on information visualization of abstract data\, such as graphs (although you could convert those into a 3D model first and then use them in Blender). \nWe like to encourage participants to bring along the data they normally work with\, or a sample thereof\, and would like to apply the course knowledge to. \nFor whom?\nAnyone interesting in learning how to design attractive visualizations. We assume the context to be an academic setting\, but it is not make many assumptions on use cases for Blender\, and we are happy to help to how we can use Blender to make attractive visuals of the data.\nPrerequisites: \nIt helps to have some familiarity with basic 3D graphics concepts (transformations\, rendering)\, but it is not mandatory. \nYou will need to have a laptop\, preferably with an acceptable GPU\, where you can install Blender during the course. \n\n\n\n\n\nSign up

SUMMARY:Introduction to Supercomputing\, part II
DESCRIPTION:If you need to perform many calculations\, or analyses that are too big for your own system\, clusters and supercomputers provide the computing power you need. In this course\, you will learn to work with the national supercomputer Snellius. \nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat will you learn in this course?\nThis course is a follow-up to the first introductory Supercomputing course\, where you can take a deeper dive into the use of supercomputers with a special focus on efficiency and good practices and a very practical approach. \nThe format of this course includes the following modules: \n\nFundamentals of performance analysis. This introductory technical presentation introduces high-performance hybrid systems\, abstractly covering the architecture and configuration of the system. Our aim is to enhance the understanding of HPC complexity before delving deeper into the importance of performance analysis models. Special attention is paid to the Roofline model.\n\nAbstract Modelling hybrid supercomputers. Presenting an abstract modelling approach for hybrid supercomputers\, condensing their complexity into three key parameters: peak performance\, memory and network bandwidth.\nPerformance analysis. Explore performance analysis\, starting with an overview of different models and going deeper into the specifics of the roofline model.\nThe roofline model. Describing the roofline model and presenting its practical application through clear explanations and demonstrations.\n\n\nFile systems. This practical session covers the proper use of file systems on HPC systems\, especially on Snellius.\nSlurm hybrid tasks. Slurm\, a widely used job scheduler for high-performance computing (HPC) systems\, has been introduced in earlier sections for a basic understanding. This module covers the specific resource allocation parameters for hybrid jobs with shared and distributed memory.\n\nNodes\, cores and tasks. This segment covers the fundamental concepts of nodes\, cores and tasks\, and highlights their role within the context of HPC systems.\nBindings. The concept of bindings is explored\, providing insight into how tasks are associated with specific resources\, improving participants’ understanding of resource allocation mechanisms.\nHands on. We will run the vector optics kernel with multiple configurations using a set of scripts.\n\n\nQCG pilot job. In some cases\, users need to run a large number of lightweight cases. However\, the nodes of supercomputers are too powerful and only allow relatively large partitions. For example\, the smallest possible allocation on Snellius is 1/4 of a node: 32 cores and 64 GB. Job concurrency is a common strategy to efficiently launch multiple lightweight jobs on such large partitions.\n\nFundamentals of job concurrency. This segment discusses the basic principles underlying job concurrency. Job concurrency is a methodological approach that allows the simultaneous execution of multiple smaller jobs within a larger allocated partition. The goal is to optimise resource utilisation and improve efficiency in scenarios where lighter tasks are executed on nodes designed for heavier workloads.\nHands-on QCG PilotJob. This hands-on session provides participants with hands-on experience of the QCG Pilotjob framework. Participants will gain practical insights into the strategies and techniques of using job concurrency to launch and manage multiple lightweight jobs within the context of bulky node partitions.\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\nParticipation in the course Introduction to Supercomputing\, Part I \nThe language of instruction is English \nLocation\nTU/e Eindhoven \n\n\n\n\n\nSign up
