Expanse Webinar: Run your Jupyter Notebooks anywhere: Scaling up your Projects from Laptop to Expanse

Thursday, June 16, 2022

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT

This event will be held remotely.

Are you running out of resources on your local machine? While Jupyter Notebooks have become the de facto software environment for interactive data analysis, visualization, and machine learning, running notebooks on an HPC system is challenging. We demonstrate the Galyleo command-line tool and the Expanse Portal to run Jupyter Notebooks on Expanse. The Expanse portal provides an integrated and easy-to-use web interface to access Expanse HPC resources. We also cover setting up reproducible and transferable software environments from your local machine to Expanse using Conda. We demonstrate scaling up calculations to large datasets and parallel computing on Expanse, as well as running Jupyter Notebooks in batch mode.
