Applications for two of San Diego Supercomputing Institute's summer institutes are now open!
The Data Science Initiative is pleased to share an opportunity from the San Diego Supercomputer Center that intersects with the core interests of the DSI.
We are excited to announce that both of the SDSC's summer institutes applications are now open!
CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning Summer Institute
2023 CIML Participants
Preparation Day (virtual): June 18, 2024 from 9am – 11am (PT)
Summer Institute (in-person): June 25 – 27, 2024
Location: SDSC Auditorium, UC San Diego
Last day to apply: Friday, April 12, 2024
The CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning (CIML) Summer Institute introduces machine learning (ML) concepts to researchers, developers and educators to techniques and methods needed to migrate their ML applications from smaller, locally run resources, such as laptops and workstations, to large-scale HPC systems, such as the SDSC’s Expanse supercomputer. Participants will have the opportunity to accelerate their learning process through highly interactive classes with hands-on tutorials using SDSC’s Expanse.
Program includes:
- Overview of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel Computing Concepts
- Instructional and hands-on exercises focused on HPC techniques, Machine Learning, Scalable Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Large Language Model (LLM) inference
- Team works on prepared training problems
Testimonials:
"This is an excellent program. It covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of parallel computing to more advanced such as transfer learning. Instructors provide clear and engaging instructions. It is highly recommended.”
- Minh, 2023 CIML attendee
"Yes. The machine learning part is very good, high level of abstract and broad summary, better than many online learning material.
- Yanni, 2023 CIML attendee

HPC and Data Science Summer Institute
2023 HPC-DS Participants
Preparation Day (virtual): July 30, 2024 from 9am – 11am (PT)
Summer Institute (in-person): August 5 – 9, 2024
Location: SDSC Auditorium, UC San Diego
Last day to apply: Friday, April 26, 2024
The HPC and Data Science Summer Institute is a week-long workshop held at the University of California, San Diego focusing on a broad spectrum of introductory-to-intermediate topics in High Performance Computing and Data Science. The program is aimed at researchers in academia and industry, especially in domains not traditionally engaged in supercomputing, who have problems that cannot typically be solved using local computing resources.
The Summer Institute will continue with a two part structure in response to the needs of our diverse user base and the increasingly diverse suite of resources and services that they need to utilize (often referred to as cyberinfrastructure). We recognize that while many researchers still need to write and parallelize their own software, a significant number of users of our supercomputers are not parallel/HPC/CI programmers (“non-programmers”). Rather, they use existing, robust third-party applications to solve problems in fields as diverse as phylogenetics, genomics, molecular biology, computational chemistry, material science, climate simulation and others. Nonetheless, these non-programmers still need to acquire specialized skills in order to effectively use advanced cyberinfrastructure. This years Summer Institute is structured to support both programmers and non-programmer as well as those who can benefit from both.
Testimonials:
"The knowledge I acquired about HPC, parallel programming, machine learning, and data science from the SDSC was invaluable. Excellent Workshop"
- Anonymous, 2023 HPC/DS attendee
" Yes, I absolutely would. There is very little chance I would have learned this much material in one week on my own.”
- Jerry, 2023 HPC/DS attendee
