Dig Deep into your Data
with Analytics and Deep Learning Tools on Shaheen
November 4-5, 2018
Auditorium 215, level 0 (between bldg. 2-3)
Description
The KAUST Supercomputing Core Laboratory (KSL) is pleased to invite you to a two-day workshop on data science workflows on its flagship supercomputer, Shaheen. KSL staff has recently installed a novel big data analytics software suite, called Urika-XC. This new service offered by KSL breaks grounds by providing advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning applications and graph tools, specifically engineered for supercomputers like Shaheen.
Solution architect and big data expert, Dr. Jim Maltby, together with principal engineer, Dr. Kristyn Maschhoff, will give a detailed description of Cray Urika-XC. Through informative examples and a hands-on tutorial session, users will learn how to use the building blocks of Cray Urika-XC including Tensorflow, Pytorch, R and Spark. Attendees will be provided with an ideal toolbox to implement, solve and test big data analytics or deep learning workflows at scale.
All KAUST researchers, students, and managers are warmly welcomed to join the event.
Seats are limited, therefore please register here.
The agenda for the event can be found here.

Dr. James Maltby is a Solution Architect for Cray, Inc. and specializes in mapping scientific and business applications to new computer architectures. He has an academic background in physics and engineering, specializing in radiation transport. He has worked for Cray since 2000, developing software for the massively multithreaded Cray XMT as a well as the other Cray systems. He also led the Bioinformatics practice at Cray for several years, using HPC to solve Life Science problems. In addition, he wrote a highly parallel in-memory Semantic Graph Database for the XMT architecture. His most recent project involved developing a Scalable Deep Learning and Analytics package for the Cray XC series of supercomputers, now available as Urika-XC. |
