Roy Prouty is currently holding tutorials on UMBC's High Performance Computing Facility, both in person and online. In-person attendees in ENGR 102 with laptops can interact with the HPCF and get help from Roy. Upcoming sessions 4 and 5 will focus on running AI applications on HPCF’s new server with GPUs and local AI tools:

4: The Shift to AI (GPUs) 1-2 pm, April 27: How to move from CPU-based workflows to GPU-accelerated computing for AI and deep learning. (RSVP by this Monday, 4/13)

5: Scalable AI 1-2 pm, May 5: Managing massive datasets, monitoring hardware limits, and tracking experiment versions. (RSVP by 4/27)

The sessions use a flipped-classroom style. Before the session, participants complete a self‑paced Blackboard module that includes short hands‑on activities. During the session, Roy will focus on questions, troubleshooting, and practice with examples to further your understanding and strengthen your workflow.

The sessions are jointly organized by DoIT and the UMBC Center for Scalable Data and Computational Science (ScaleS).
