1. October 29,2025: Parallelizing Massively Independent Tasks - GNU Parallel and Job Arrays
| Topic | Parallelizing Massively Independent Tasks - GNU Parallel and Job Arrays |
| Date | October 29,2025 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | Zoom Online |
| Description | In scientific computing disciplines such as bioinformatics, computational biology, and other data-intensive fields, many tools and workflows remain serial in nature. Running a large number of these independent jobs efficiently on a multi-core HPC platform can be challenging. This training will introduce two powerful approaches for handling such workloads namely GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays. This training session covers efficient execution and management of large collections of independent or parameter-sweep tasks using GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays, leveraging both single-node and multi-node HPC environments for scalable, high-throughput processing. Through hands-on, real-world examples, we will demonstrate how to launch, monitor, and optimize massive batches of serial or lightweight jobs using GNU Parallel and SLURM Job Arrays, highlighting their similarities, differences, and best-use scenarios.

2. November 5,2025: Molecular Dynamics
| Topic | Molecular Dynamics |
| Date | November 5,2025 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | Zoom Online |
| Description | Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) is a computational technique that is used to study the dynamics of molecules and atoms over time. The tutorial will discuss the essentials of the classical molecular dynamics simulations. The basic system setup, initialization, and analysis for widely used simulation packages such as LAMMPS, GROMACS, AMBER and NAMD on LONI and LSU HPC clusters will be reviewed. Prerequisites
