Introduction to Unity Workshop for Social Science

Friday, September 27, 2024 at 12:00 PM, presenter Georgia Stuart
This event will be hybrid, located on Zoom and in Lederle Graduate Research Center (LGRC) A112. If you would like to join on Zoom, please register here. Join us to learn how you can leverage the Unity Platform for social science research! Unity is well suited for social science research projects involving data from small to large scale. This workshop is meant as a general onboarding workshop with a specific focus on tools for social science research, and requires NO PRIOR UNITY EXPERIENCE to attend. Read More...

Fall Onboarding Session 2

Friday, September 6, 2024 at 10:00 AM, presenter Georgia Stuart
Registration required here! Join Unity facilitators for an Introduction to Unity Onboarding session. Though this workshop is intended for users new to Unity, all Unity users are welcome! Topics covered include logging on via SSH and Unity OnDemand, submitting batch and interactive command-line Slurm jobs for MPI parallelized or multithreaded applications, using the Unity OnDemand graphical applications (JupyterLab, RStudio, etc), and using the Unity OnDemand job composer. This workshop will be held remotely via Zoom. Read More...

Meet and Mingle with the MGHPCC Community at PEARC’24

Monday, July 22, 2024 at 5:00 PM, presenter Georgia Stuart
Attending PEARC’24 in Providence, RI? Join the MGHPCC, including Unity staff, for a Monday late-afternoon, post-conference snack break and chat with MGHPCC staff, professionals from the MGHPCC campuses, and friends. No registration is required to attend. We hope to see you there! The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC), located less than 85 miles from PEARC’24, is a collaborative data center that brings together the vibrant research computing community in New England.

Intro to Bioinformatics on Unity II (URI AI Lab)

Monday, March 25, 2024 at 11:00 AM, presenter Cecile Cres

This workshop is presented by the University of Rhode Island AI Lab.

High performance computing clusters such as Unity allow researchers to greatly scale up the power of their bioinformatic analyses while also decreasing the amount of time that it takes for those analyses to run. However figuring out how to best make use of the resources on Unity can be intimidating. Building off of the fundamentals established in the previous workshop, this workshop will guide researchers through all the ways they can ensure that their analyses are running efficiently and how they can best utilize Unity’s resources for their purposes.

Intro to Bioinformatics on Unity I (URI AI Lab)

Monday, February 26, 2024 at 11:00 AM, presenter Cecile Cres

This workshop is presented by the University of Rhode Island AI Lab.

Over the past several decades, decreasing sequencing costs have resulted in the generation of vast amounts of biological data, providing researchers with the opportunity to tackle complex biological questions but also presenting a great computational challenge. Many analyses now are performed on high performance computing clusters such as Unity which offer enough computational power to work with such data. This workshop will offer a practical introduction to how to get started with conducting bioinformatics analyses on Unity and take participants through all of the steps required to run a program on Unity.

Introduction to Snakemake

Friday, December 15, 2023 at 1:00 PM, presenter Cecile Cres
Snakemake is a workflow engine for piping data through analysis pipelines. While particularly popular in the bioinformatics community, Snakemake is useful across any field that involves pipelines of data processing and analysis. This workshop will introduce using Snakemake on Unity and demonstrate a workflow on metagenomics data. This workshop will be held remotely via Zoom. Please register for a Unity account prior to the workshop if you do not already have one by visiting the Unity Portal. Read More...

Git Basics

Monday, November 6, 2023 at 1:00 PM, presenter Sol Jerome
Git, a version control software, lets you retain a record of changes throughout the history of your software. Version control is essential for reproducible, traceable science and is useful for any field with a computational component. This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of version control with git and how to incorporate version control into your Unity workflow. This workshop will be held remotely via Zoom. Please register for a Unity account prior to the workshop if you do not already have one by visiting the Unity Portal. Read More...
