Recent Work [UPDATES]

Personal contribution:

GitHub for Talon:

Started GitHub repository dedicated to Talon. Here I will keep posting:

• tutorials
• toolkits for most popular programming languages (R, python, etc.)
• mahcine learning tools with toy example ready to be implemented on Talon
• shortcuts, tricks and tips that can speed up work on Talon
• tutorials with different approach from existing ones for Talon
• code snippets
• available material for any future workshops
• easy and accessible material that can be used on Talon
• re-format current material resources for easy acces and undestanding.

SSH configuration for Talon:

Created tutorial on how to setup shortcuts on ssh to easily login on Talon. here

Use screen on Talon:

Created tutorial on how to use screen on Talon. Very useful when performing experiments where you need a terminal open. here

Python support on Talon:

Checking all python libraries common to Data Science and make sure they are running correctly.

Issue discovered & fixed on Talon:

Issue discovered & fixed in using pip install with certain versions of python on Talon.

We mostly care about the versions of python that works by default with the latest version of tensorflow for GPU and non-GPU.

• For tensorflow/1.10.1 python/3.6.5 is loaded by default. pip install works on both Talon Login1 and Talon Login2.

• For tensorflow/1.10.1-gpu python/3.6.0 is loaded by default. [WAIT FOR UPDATE]

Auto Machine Learning on Talon:

Provide library that can automate process of finding best machine learning model for a given data:

• Python: installed and tested on Talon TPOT Auto Machine Learning: Jupiter Notebook or .py file

Using Keras on GPUs

When using GPUs on Talon with Keras load the modules in this exact order:

module load tensorflow/1.10.1-gpu keras/2.2.0 python/3.6.0
