SUMMARY:Demystifying the Dark Arts of HPC: Introducing Biomedical Research
 ers to Supercomputers
DESCRIPTION:State of the Practice Talk\n\nDemystifying the Dark Arts of HP
 C: Introducing Biomedical Researchers to Supercomputers\n\nTownsend-Nichol
 son, Gregory, Hoti, Merritt, Franks...\n\nThe ability to bring personalise
 d medicine from science fiction to science fact and into everyday clinical
  practice is the focus of the CompBioMed Centre of Excellence, a group of 
 private, public and research organizations led by University College Londo
 n.  To reach this goal, CompBioMed’s Education, Training and Sustainabilit
 y team teaches university students studying a broad range of disciplines t
 o run biomedical and bioscience applications on high performance computing
  (HPC) resources.  For this, students acquire skills in core computing met
 hodologies, learning the "dark arts" of optimization to produce efficient,
  effective workloads.  CompBioMed has created a scalable training model fo
 r remotely-delivered dark arts teaching, starting with optimization of the
  QIIME2 application on a cloud cluster they have named nUCLeus.  This talk
  covers the collaborative efforts that CompBioMed has used to develop a re
 peatable scalable training model, and how students around the world can su
 ccessfully learn to use HPC without breaking the bank.\n\nTag: Best Practi
 ces, HPC Training and Education\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg
