Summer Hi-Tech Boot Camps
Please note, the 2020 HPC Boot Camp has been canceled. The boot camp will return next summer, 2021.
Register now for the 2020 Machine Learning Boot Camp!
______________________________________________
The Data Science/Machine Learning and High Performance Computing (HPC) Boot Camps are intensive training programs that offer guided instruction and hands-on learning. Both camps are held annually in the summer at Rice University and are taught by Rice University faculty and associates.
These training sessions introduce the skills needed to help leverage cutting edge data analytics tools, and get you up to speed on skills required to start leveraging the latest HPC and Data Science tools. Early registration is recommended as these courses fill up fast!

The Machine Learning Boot Camp
2020 Focus: Machine Learning for Executives
Date: August 6-7, 2020
Location: Online Event
This two-day boot camp will provide a broad introduction to Machine Learning (ML) from an executive perspective.
Prerequisites: A general level of familiarity with mathematics is assumed, including college-level calculus, though those without this background will still find the boot camp a useful introduction to modern ML.

Leading High-Performance Computing (HPC) faculty and staff members from Rice University serve as instructors for the HPC Boot Camp. The curriculum covers topics ranging from MPI, OpenMP, Pthreads, Performance analysis (HPCToolkit), accelerated computing using GPGPU (OpenACC and CUDA), and GPU programming including Numba, Tensorflow and domain-specific CUDA libraries. Using Rice’s shared computing infrastructure, hands on laboratory sessions supported by the instructor and lab assistants, will be offered each day allowing participants to practice what is being taught in the class sessions.
Prerequisites: Participants should be comfortable with using Linux command line for program development and compiling. You should have basic knowledge of development and debugging of sequential programs in C/C++ and/or Fortran.
