Anita Nikolich will be presenting FABRIC: Adaptive programmaBle networked Research Infrastructure for Computer science for this webinar.

Many users know how to create an experiment using the Chameleon graphics interface, but Jupyter Notebooks allows users the added benefit of doing that in a reproducible and documented way? In this webinar, we will orchestrate an experiment -- from resource allocation to gathering and visualizing the results to tearing it down -- using Jupyter Notebooks.

This tutorial describes how to use the Chameleon bare metal reconfigurable testbed to perform computer science experiments. It explains how to use Chameleon’s fully customizable and accessible collection of nodes, accelerators, storage, and innovative networking resources. The tutorial walks through the computer science experimental process and provides hands-on experience with making a hardware reservation and running a pre-designed experiment on Chameleon.

In previous webinars we saw how to create and run an experiment using Jupyter Notebooks and automate configuring an experiment in multiple servers inside a custom network using Ansible. This time, we will raise the bar once again and use a heat template to create the entire experiment -- reservation, servers, network, experiment -- without human intervention besides starting the build process. You will leave this webinar knowing what a heat template is, how to write one, and how to…

Previous webinars have shown how to automate the orchestration of an experiment from allocating the resources to building the lab to running the experiment and tearing it all down using Heat Templates. Chameleon is a research platform in which experimenters can make on-demand or advanced reservations for resources. Some experiments require resources -- GPUs, FPGAs -- that are both scarce and popular so users must reserve them well in advance. Other experiments require large portions of the testbed and are…

Join the UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care (PPMH) for Pharmacogenomics and Decision Support in the EHR, a free virtual mini-symposium from 1:00-3:00pm on Wednesday October 27. Presenters will explore mechanisms for predicting how a patient’s genome will influence their response to medications, implementing pharmacogenomics in the clinic, and development of EHR decision support. Presentations: The ongoing quest for perfection – or at least precision – of tacrolimus dosing in bone marrow transplant Daniel Crona, PharmD, PhD — Associate…

In anticipation of the launch of the UNC School of Data Science and Society, RENCI is helping launch Carolina Data Science Now, a series of themed, informal conversations about data science work already happening across UNC and North Carolina that will spark your imagination about what it means to be a data science practitioner and will create opportunities for connection across domain boundaries. The inaugural Carolina Data Science Now webinar will take place on January 26 at 12 PM ET.…

Please join CI Compass for their webinar series event “Engaging with CI Compass” featuring RENCI's Anirban Mandal. The webinar will be held on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. PT / 4:00 p.m. ET. CI Compass, the NSF Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence (CICoE), provides expertise and active support to cyberinfrastructure (CI) practitioners at NSF Major Facilities (MFs) in order to accelerate their data lifecycle (DLC). CI Compass works with MFs by contributing knowledge and offering expertise in a number…
