SUMMARY:Automating HPC Research Workflows on Perlmutter
DESCRIPTION:<p>This half-day seminar introduces five workflow management to
 ols for automating computational research on <em>Perlmutter</em>: GNU Para
 llel\, signac\, Maestro\, Merlin\, and AiiDA.</p>\n<p>Participants will ru
 n hands-on examples on&nbsp\;<em>Perlmutter</em> that demonstrate how each
  tool addresses a distinct challenge in managing large-scale scientific co
 mputations.</p>\n<p>By the end of the seminar\, participants will be able 
 to identify which tool fits their workflow requirements and apply it to th
 eir own research.</p>\n<h2>Topics</h2>\n<p>The seminar will cover the foll
 owing tools.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GNU Parallel</strong>: Execute indepen
 dent tasks in parallel across cores or nodes without writing job scripts.<
 /li>\n<li><strong>signac</strong>: Organize parameter spaces and track sim
 ulation inputs and outputs with a lightweight Python framework.</li>\n<li>
 <strong>Maestro</strong>: Define multi-step workflows as directed acyclic 
 graphs with explicit task dependencies.</li>\n<li><strong>Merlin</strong>:
  Coordinate large-scale ensemble simulations across distributed resources 
 using a producer-consumer model.</li>\n<li><strong>AiiDA</strong>: Automat
 e and track computational workflows with full provenance\, enabling reprod
 ucible research.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Prerequisites</h2>\n<p>To get the most o
 ut of this seminar\, participants should be familiar with</p>\n<ul>\n<li>S
 ubmitting jobs on a Slurm-based HPC system\,&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Shell script
 ing (Bash)\, and</li>\n<li>Basic Python (reading and running scripts).<br>
 <br></li>\n</ul>
