6 Nov 1:00 pm 4:00 pmGIT Version ControlUsing version control for your scripts, codes, documents, papers, and even data, allows you to track changes, keep backups, and facilitate collaboration. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of version control with the popular distributed version control software GIT. This workshop assumes that students have an understanding of basic Linux shell commands.Format: Virtual Virtual | DAT161 - Nov 2024 |

13 Nov 12:00 pm 1:00 pmSetting Up Compute Infrastructure for Sensitive Data (Compute Ontario Colloquium)We introduce a secure computing enclave at SciNet High-Performance Computing Consortium. Code-named S4H, this environment is already available to groups at the University of Toronto as a pilot project. S4H aims to meet researchers’ needs for hosting and working with sensitive data, which SciNet’s main cluster, Niagara, does not accommodate. In the first part (Yohai), we’ll delve into the technical details. We’ll explain how S4H is different from Niagara in that the data are encrypted at rest and access is hardened, and what that means in practice. We will talk about the difficulties of providing isolation for different research groups on a shared system, and explore the different components that make it possible, such as key management and containerization mechanisms. The second part (Shawn) will focus on adopting the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework. We’ll describe our journey deciphering the control set’s complexities, developing metadata for organizing remediation efforts, and crafting Plans of Action and Milestones for compliance gaps. Future steps include internal and potentially external assessments to verify compliance, with initiatives like Privacy Impact Assessment and penetration testing, with the eventual goal of being certified for Level 4 data.

25 Nov 1:00 pm 4:00 pmIntro to Linux Command LineWorking with many of the HPC systems (like those at SciNet) involves using the Linux/UNIX command line. This provides a very powerful interface, but it can be quite daunting for the uninitiated. In this half-day session, you can become initiated with this course which will cover basic commands. It could be a great boon for your productivity.Format: Virtual Virtual | SCMP101 - Nov 2024 |

29 Nov 1:00 pm 4:00 pmIntro to ApptainerContainer computing is gradually changing the way researchers are developing, sharing, and running software applications. Apptainer (formerly called Singularity) is gaining popularity in HPC for its performance, ease of use, portability, and security. In this course, we will explore: what is a container, why use a container, and how to use and create one.Format: Virtual | SCMP161 - Nov 2024 |

7 Jan 11:00 am 12:00 pmPHY1610 Scientific Computing LectureThis 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.This is an in-person course. | PHY1610 - Winter 2025 |
