In this initial RCAC Generative AI Series workshop, attendees will explore the art and science of prompt engineering in the realm of generative AI. This session is designed to provide practical insights into crafting effective prompts to generate more relevant and accurate results. While prior knowledge of deep learning fundamentals will be beneficial, the workshop will offer a broad overview suitable for various participants, from students to faculty.

Software Installation 101 is for anyone looking to learn the fundamentals of software installation on Linux/Unix-based high-performance computing systems. Prior experience with the command line and cluster computing will be helpful. Topics covered will include the following:

• Foundations
• Unpacking
• Compiling from Source
• Compiling from Source with Dependencies
• QA

This webinar covers the basics of connecting to Anvil, managing the user environment, running jobs, and data management. Knowledge of basic UNIX commands and submitting batch jobs to a cluster will be helpful.

Topics Overview:

This virtual seminar will introduce data visualization techniques and tools. Attendees should have some prior knowledge of programming and data analysis. The 90-minute seminar will focus on essential concepts and hands-on experience in data visualization.
