	=== Introduction to ~~Scheduling~~ and ~~Parallel Models~~ of ~~Computation~~ ===		=== Introduction to scheduling and parallel models of computation ===

	In this workshop, we will introduce basic ideas from parallel computing such as task graphs and resource scheduling. The first half of the talk will explain the difference between serial computations, shared memory parallelism, and distributed memory parallelism as they relate to understanding the resources that a computation is capable of using efficiently. The second half of the talk will introduce a workflow for computing that takes advantage of the many benefits of using a job scheduler. This workflow will emphasize methods for tracking resource utilization and modeling job performance to improve job requests. Throughout the workshop, attendees will apply these techniques to a simple (but scalable) example problem to develop their own scaling study and optimize a job script.

	=== Compiling ~~Software~~ ===		=== Compiling software ===

	In this workshop, we will introduce some of the basic ideas of compiling software from source code. The workshop will begin with a high-level overview of the ideas used in compiling software. Throughout the talk, we will discuss specific examples from compiling C libraries on Linux using GCC, Make, and Autotools. An understanding of these technologies is required for handling the most common custom software builds on High-Performance Computing clusters. We will introduce strategies for build process debugging and test these skills by building R from source to enable integration with some common high-performance statistical software.
