In preparation for these experiences, I dedicated myself to building a strong foundation: reading books, taking courses, constructing a mini edge cluster to mimic an HPC center setup, and conducting numerous experiments to explore how different technologies and tools compare.</p> https://erolrecep.github.io/posts/notes_for_organizing_workshops/ Sun, 13 Oct 2024 05:26:01 -0500 https://erolrecep.github.io/posts/notes_for_organizing_workshops/ <p><strong>TL;DR:</strong><br> This post shares insights on organizing a technical workshop on a university campus. As an HPC admin and AI facilitator, I’ve organized several workshops and technical training sessions for HPC users. Here’s a roadmap of what to do <em>before</em>, <em>during</em>, and <em>after</em> a workshop, along with tips and tricks to make life easier for both you and the attendees. These are my personal views.</p> <hr> <p><strong>From ML Engineer to HPC Admin</strong><br> After working as a machine learning engineer in various companies over a decade, I decided to switch my career to high-performance computing (HPC) and supercomputing centers. Upon completing my PhD, I reflected on my background and realized that the role of an HPC admin and AI facilitator fit perfectly with my skill set. I had also spent years in academia, teaching multiple courses, preparing quizzes and assignments, and mentoring over 100 graduate students in programming, problem-solving, data science, machine learning, and AI. These experiences motivated me to pursue this path.</p>
