Jemmy Hu, jemmyhu@sharcnet.ca

SHARCNET is pleased to invite Reece Teramoto and Sam Marshalik, Application Engineers at MathWorks, to teach a full day MATLAB hands-on workshop at the University of Waterloo. The workshop offers two popular topics: Deep Learning in MATLAB and Parallel Computing in MATLAB. This is a great opportunity for the MATLAB users to learn the best approaches in MATLAB to speedup their researches and to communicate face-to-face with the MATLAB experts.
 
The event is FREE but registration is required for the organizer to plan for a free Pizza Lunch and Coffee Break. A lunch time Data Centre (Graham cluster) tour is also planned.
 
Please NOTE that this is an ON-SITE event, not an online webinar.

<H2 CLASS="xmsonormal">Deep Learning in MATLAB </H2>
 
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Instructor: Reece Teramoto, Application Engineer, MathWorks</H3>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Time: Nov. 14, 9:00am-12:00pm</H3>
 
Deep learning is introducing automation to the products we build and the way we do business. These techniques can be used to solve complex problems related to images, signals, text and controls.
In this hands-on workshop, you will write code and learn how to use MATLAB to:
<OL>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Train deep neural networks on GPUs in the cloud.</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Create deep learning models from scratch for image and signal data.</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Explore pretrained models and use transfer learning.</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Import and export models from Python frameworks such as Keras and PyTorch.</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Automatically generate code for embedded targets.</LI>
</OL>
Please bring your laptop to the session.
 
 
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Data Centre Tour during lunch time, 12:30 ~</H2>
The data centre hosts one of the largest Compute Canada clusters Graham
 
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Parallel Computing in MATLAB</H2>
 
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Instructor: Sam Marshalik, Application Engineer, MathWorks</H3>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Time: Nov. 14, 1:30pm-4:30pm</H3>
 
During this 3 hour hands-on workshop, you will be introduced to parallel and distributed computing in MATLAB for speeding up your application and offloading work.  By working through common scenarios and workflows, you will gain an understanding of the parallel constructs in MATLAB, their capabilities, and some of the typical issues that arise when using them.
Workshop examples will vary in difficulty, starting from simple parallel usage concepts to more advanced techniques. Attendees will be able to ask questions and receive feedback regarding workshop exercises. Users will also have the opportunity to run MATLAB code on the cluster, if one is available and accessible. After the session, one on one sessions can be held, if scheduled ahead of time.
Highlights include:
<UL>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">Speeding up programs with parallel computing</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">Offloading computations and cluster computing</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">Working with large data sets</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">GPU Computing</LI>
</UL>
Requirements:
MATLAB experience or basic programming or coding experience is suggested. Cluster compute and Linux experience is not required for this workshop.
Attendees to bring personal laptops or connect to their computer via a remote client that have MATLAB (at least R2016a) and Parallel Computing Toolbox installed.
