Reproducible Computing at University of Michigan

Workshop schedule:

December 10- December 12, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM ET

Registration closes 12/3/2025.

About the workshop:

This workshop is for University of Michigan researchers who manage lots of data and/or execute compute-intensive analyses. It illustrates best practices around data management, software management, and task automation in the UM IT ecosystem. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Manage software requirements in a modular, portable fashion using modules (lmod), Conda, and containers (Docker/Singularity).
• Submit jobs to GreatLakes using basic SLURM commands (e.g. squeue) and also using workflow managers (e.g. Nextflow).
• Describe data storage resources available at UM, best practices for different kinds of data, and how to use Globus to transfer and share data.

• More details:
• This workshop is open only to learners asociated with University of Michigan.
• The cost is $435/seat.
• The workshop is entirely online and will be conducted over Zoom and Slack.
• This workshop assumes at least some familiarity or experience working with a command line. (Previous attendance in a Computational Foundations workshop or Software Carpentry workshop is sufficient.)
• The workshop experience is designed to be interactive and includes a combination of lecture, live-coding, independent exercises, and opportunities for questions throughout.

We are able to refund workshop fees for cancellations prior to the close of registration.
