Data-driven Materials Modelling Workshop:
The Institute for Data-Intensive Engineering & Science (IDIES), the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), and the Advanced Research Computing at Hopkins (ARCH) Facilities are sponsoring a 3-day workshop on data-driven materials modeling at the Homewood Campus.
Join us for 3 full-day sessions with themes that explore the intersection of simulation with machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. Each session will feature a morning keynote from an expert in the field and a hands-on afternoon covering relevant software and running through exercises.
- Wednesday, May 29, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm: “High-Throughput Thermodynamic Modeling”, with keynote speaker Olexandr Isayev from Carnegie Mellon University.
- Thursday, May 30, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm: “Quantum Chemistry and Catalysis”, with keynote speaker John Keith from the University of Pittsburg.
- Friday, May 31, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm: “Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics”, with keynote speaker Erik Luijten from Northwestern University.
Connectors
Globus connectors serve as enhancements to the Hopkins Globus premium subscription, facilitating seamless data transfer between various endpoints managed by the system. Users can effortlessly move and share data not only between different connectors but also between endpoints, such as AWS and OneDrive. By incorporating Globus connectors, your file system can function as a Globus endpoint, exemplified by the integration with file systems like Ceph. This empowers users with access to your file system to efficiently share their data with other endpoints or users.
Among the widely utilized Globus connectors are OneDrive, AWS, Google Drive, Ceph, Dropbox, Google Cloud, and iRODS, totaling 22 available connectors. Accessible through the Hopkins Globus entry point are options like “Rockfish AWS” and “ARCH OneDrive,” with additional connectors such as “Google Drive” and “Ceph” slated for future implementation.

#SBATCH –mem-per-cpu=4GB:
Users are advised not to include the argument #SBATCH –mem-per-cpu=4GB in slurm scripts. Each task per core is associated with about 3.9GB of memory, making this argument redundant. Therefore, we recommend avoiding its usage.
