There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Workshop: Parallel Computing with MATLAB and Scaling to HPC on PACE clusters at Georgia Tech
MathWorks and PACE are partnering to offer a two-part parallel computing virtual workshop, taught by a MathWorks engineer, to PACE users and other members of the Georgia Tech community.
During this self-paced, hands-on workshop, you will be introduced to parallel and GPU computing in MATLAB for speeding up your application and offloading computations. By working through common scenarios and workflows, you will gain an understanding of the parallel constructs in MATLAB, their capabilities, and some of the issues that may arise when using them. You will also learn how to take advantage of PACE resources, which are available to all researchers at Georgia Tech (including a free tier available at no cost), to scale your MATLAB computations.
Register by noon on May 14 at https://gatech.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cD7prAcGZRthKCO.
Highlights
· Speeding up programs with parallel computing
· Working with large data sets
· GPU computing
· Scaling to PACE clusters (Phoenix, Hive, ICE, or Firebird)
Agenda
This virtual workshop will be held in two parts:
Part I, Tuesday, May 18, 1-4 PM, will focus on speeding up MATLAB with Parallel Computing Toolbox.
Part II, Tuesday, May 25, 1-4 PM, will focus on running MATLAB parallel code on PACE clusters.
Who should attend?
PhD students, post docs and faculty at Georgia Tech that want to (Part I) use parallel and GPU computing in MATLAB, and (Part II) scale their computations to take advantage of PACE resources.
Requirements
· Basic working knowledge of MATLAB
· Access to the Georgia Tech VPN. You do NOT need to be a PACE user, and all participants will receive access to PACE-ICE for hands-on activities.
Please contact PACE at pace-support@oit.gatech.edu with any questions.
