Drop in on the Zoom meeting to ask members of CCV’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) team your questions about using Oscar or any other research computing topics you are interested in.

An introduction to Oscar, Brown’s research computing cluster, for new users. Participants will learn how to connect to Oscar (ssh, VNC), how to navigate Oscar’s filesystem, and how to use the module system to access software packages on Oscar.

This will be a virtual workshop. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for connecting via Zoom the day of the workshop.

Join the Carney Institute for an information session and Q&A about the 2020 call for applications for the institute’s Innovation Awards in Brain Science . The purpose of these awards is to launch innovative projects that have great potential to advance science and benefit society in ways that have major and lasting impact. The Innovation Awards in Brain Science are open to all Brown faculty members conducting brain science research at Brown University or its affiliated hospitals. Applications are due August 31, 2020.

Speaker: Jianfei Guo, Brown University

Title: Action Training Facilitates Perception and Cognition

Advisor: Joo-Hyun Song

Drop in on the Zoom meeting to ask members of CCV’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) team your questions about using Oscar or any other research computing topics you are interested in.

A primer on submitting jobs to the job scheduler on Oscar. Some basic familiarity with Unix/Linux systems is assumed. Topics covered include: an overview of the use of Slurm for resource allocation, submitting jobs to Slurm, and using Bash scripts to configure and submit jobs to Slurm.

This will be a virtual workshop. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for connecting via Zoom the day of the workshop.

Join the Carney Institute for Brain Science for a conversation about how traditional brain recording techniques (MEG/EEG) are coming together with new computational tools to inform new directions for brain science research. 

This event will be moderated by Diane Lipscombe, Reliance Dhirubhai Ambani Director of the Carney Institute, and Christopher Moore, associate director of the Carney Institute, and it will feature Stephanie Jones, associate professor of neuroscience at Brown University, and Frederike Petzschner, who will join the Carney Institute this year as a fellow. 

Drop in on the Zoom meeting to ask members of CCV’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) team your questions about using Oscar or any other research computing topics you are interested in.

This workshop will cover basic performance optimization techniques using parallel computing techniques in MATLAB, including: parallel for-loops (parfor), single program multiple data (spmd), and distributed arrays. We assume that participants have a relatively advanced knowlege of the MATLAB programming language and have written at least one scientific computing application.

This will be a virtual workshop. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions for connecting via Zoom the day of the workshop.
