Two VIRTUAL workshops are being organized as a part of this conference. These two workshops are available to ALL faculty, researchers, post-doc and graduate students from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas (OAK) region. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND THE CONFERENCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE WORKSHOPS! Oct. 24th, Virtual Workshop (Offered by NVIDIA): Fundamentals of Deep Learning Description: In this workshop, you'll learn how deep learning works through hands-on exercises in computer vision and natural language processing. You'll train deep learning models from scratch, learning tools and tricks to achieve highly accurate results. You'll also learn to leverage freely available, state-of-the- art pre-trained models to save time and get your deep learning application up and running quickly.

It will introduce the concept of compiling advanced software packages with “make” and different Linux compilers (GNU, Intel or PGI). Compiling software for GPUs with CUDA will also be covered. The concepts of required packages, libraries and include files will be covered. Some practical tricks and good practices will also be covered. For users of HPCC, a discussion about using a queuing system such as SLURM will also be discussed.
