Workshop 3: Hands-On, MATLAB Usage in HPC Computing Environments – Sweden

Scientists and researchers who are looking to scale up their computation needs beyond their local resources onto the Swedish national supercomputing cluster at NAISS. Those who are currently working on a project requiring HPC resources or foresee the need to do so soon, will find this workshop particularly useful. 

Raymond Norris has worked at MathWorks for over 30 years as a Quality Engineer, a Technical Consultant, and now, most recently, as an Application Engineer. At MathWorks, he has written training courses and workshops. Raymond currently leads a team integrating MathWorks parallel tools with end-users’ HPC cluster and cloud environments as well as gives talks and workshops focused on parallelization of MATLAB. 

Raymond holds a BS in computer science and applied mathematics from the University of Massachusetts, Boston and an MS in software engineering from Brandeis University. 

Damian Pietrus is Parallel Computing Application Engineer. He has a BA from Harvard University, and he joined MathWorks in July of 2017 working in front-line support before joining the Parallel team in late 2019. Damian's focus is on integrating MATLAB Parallel Server with various HPC environments and helping users to take advantage of these expanded computing resources.

Prerequisites

• Familiarity with MATLAB, ability to create scripts and functions is a must.
• Attendance in Workshop 1 of this series is strongly recommended although not mandatory. Concepts covered there are required but will not be repeated in the hands-on workshop.
• Please follow the instructions on the Course Resource Page to create an account on your national HPC system. The link to the Resource Page will be provided to you via email after you register for the workshop.
