MATLAB: Tools for Parallel Computing | 3:00 - 4:30 EDT

This workshop will cover basic performance optimization techniques using parallel computing techniques in MATLAB, including: parallel for-loops (parfor), single program multiple data (spmd), and distributed arrays. We assume that participants have a relatively advanced knowlege of the MATLAB programming language

Slides

Using Jupyter Notebooks | 9:30 - 10:00 EDT

A quick overview to using Jupyter Notebooks. We will provide some python-specific functionality and some tips about notebooks in general.

Python Programming Basics | 10:00 - 12:00 EDT

An introduction to Python programming. Topics covered will include: the basics of variables, lists, dictionaries and arrays; the logic of control-flow techniques such as if-then statements, for loops, list comprehensions; a basic understanding of writing functions.

Data Wrangling in Python | 1:30 - 3:30 EDT

A quick introduction to working with data in python. We will touch on two ways work with data in general. A prerequisite is that you are at least familiar wiht simnple python programming or attended the previous session.
