This material will guide learners through the process of performing a HPC simulation (code available), and a high-throughput analysis (code available) of related data. The end goal will be to compare the simulation to the data (i.e. to relate their actions on a HPC installation to the scientific method).
For this, they will develop the workflow for a specific research scenario, for example:
Lola was hired by a research lab to help prepare the purchase of a multi-million dollar experiment. The experiment is known to fail at temperatures that are too low or too high. She knows that the temperature changes follow a daily pattern, and she's written some code to simulate these temperature changes. After running this code and generating the temperature predictions, she determines how closely her predictions match the actual temperature readings she has for every day in the last year. The simuation would take too long to run and generate too much data for her lab workstation, so she will use the local University's HPC facility for this work. {: .callout }
