3 Jun 9:00 am 12:00 pmThis course provides you with essential knowledge and skills to effectively prepare data for analysis. Starting with an overview of the Data Analytics pipeline and processes, the course explores various statistical and visualization techniques used in Exploratory and Descriptive Analytics to understand historical data. You will then delve into the art of Data Preparation, gaining expertise in data cleaning, handling missing values, detecting, and handling outliers, as well as transforming and engineering features. By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the necessary tools to ensure data quality and integrity, enabling you to make informed decisions and derive valuable insights from their data.

3 Jun 9:00 am 12:00 pmRunning programs on the supercomputers is done via the BASH shell. This course is two three hour live demos on using bash. No prior familiarity with bash is assumed. In addition to the basics of getting around, globbing, regular expressions, redirection, pipes, and scripting will be covered. A series of exercises are required to be done in order to complete the course.

4 Jun 9:00 am 12:00 pmThis workshop is a primer for those largely new to supercomputing, i.e., to computing on shared, remote resources. It is intended to demystify the somewhat intimidating term "High-Performance Computing" (HPC), and to serve as a foundation upon which to build over the coming days. Topics will include motivation for HPC, available resources, essential issues, and a high level overview of parallel programming models commonly used on these systems. Level: Introductory Length: 3 Hours Format: Lecture + Hands-on Prerequisites: Basic Linux e.g. "Introduction to Linux Shell" (part of the 2024 Compute Ontario Summer School) Virtual | COSS2024![Show in Google map](https://www.scinethpc.ca/wp-content/plugins/amr-ical-events-list/images/map_16.png) |
