19 Jan 11:00 am 12:00 pmScientific Computing Lecture (PHY1510)This course is aimed at reducing your struggle in getting started with computational projects, and make you a more efficient computational scientist. Topics include well-established best practices for developing software as it applies to scientific computations, common numerical techniques and packages, and aspects of high performance computing. While we will introduce the C++ language, in one language or another, students should already have some programming experience. Despite the title, this course is suitable for many physical scientists (chemists, astronomers, ...).This is a graduate course that can be taken for graduate credit by UofT PhD and MSc students. Students that wish to do so, should enrol using ACORN/ROSI. | PHY1610 - Winter 2023 |
19 Jan 11:00 am 12:30 pmEES1137 Lecture 4In this course data analysis techniques utilizing the Python and R languages will be introduced, as well as the basics of programming and scientific computing. The goal of this course is to prepare graduate students for performing scientific data analysis. Successful students will learn how to use statistical inference tools to gain insight into large and small data sets, as well as be exposed to cutting-edge techniques and best practises to store, manage and analyze (large) data. Topics include: Python and R programming, version control, automation, modular programming and scientific visualization.Students willing to take the course as part of their graduate program must enrol through Acorn/ROSI. | EES1137 - Winter 2023 |
23 Jan 12:30 pm 2:00 pmPython to C++ #1C++ is a high level programming language that is extremely useful for scientific applications. The language has historically had a bad reputation, but modern C++ is much improved so that your code can be relatively short and elegant. In this workshop we will teach the basics of C++ for people who are familiar with the basics of programming, and we will especially compare and contrast C++ with Python (only the material covered in SCMP142 "Intro to Programming with Python" is required). Knowing multiple programming languages may be a useful skill: while Python is a wonderful programming language, execution speed is often a practical issue for pure Python applications. For applications where this is an issue, coding in C++ can significantly improve performance. As C++ can relatively easily be integrated in a Python project, it is also possible (and common) to code just the bottleneck in that language.Format: In-person, but also will be broadcast and recorded.

25 Jan 12:00 pm 1:00 pmCO Colloquium by Jeff Moon on "How Research Data Management (RDM) Intersects with ARC and Why Should I Care?"This week's colloquium: "How Research Data Management (RDM) Intersects with ARC and Why Should I Care?" by Jeff Moon from Compute Ontario.The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Most presentations are recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel.
