LabArchives Love Data Week 2021
Celebrating Data, Improving Data Management, and Increasing Productivity through the LabArchives Research Notebook
What could be better than an entire week dedicated to celebrating data? National Doughnut Day and National Puppy Day are also close to our hearts, but a week commemorating data just cannot be beat!
Love Data Week is an international celebration of data that aims to promote good data practices, while building and engaging a community around topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, and reuse. Join us for our weeklong series of events dedicated to helping you improve the organization of your data while taking steps towards better overall data management through the LabArchives Research Notebook.
Pick and choose the sessions that interest you or attend all the sessions for a comprehensive look at LabArchives and how you can improve your research data management regimen.
Please view our schedule below and register now! Each session will be capped at 100 attendees. Limited spots remain!
Introduction to LabArchives for Researchers (60 minutes)
For new users that need help with the basics or current users that need a refresher on how to create notebooks, add and manage your data, notebook access controls, collaboration tools, and export options.

In this workshop, you'll get hands-on experience accelerating Python codes with NVIDIA GPUs. We will utilize code samples in three main categories to introduce you to Python GPU accelerated computing. First, we will explore drop-in replacements for SciPy and NumPy code through the CuPy library. Next we’ll cover NVIDIA RAPIDS, which provides GPU acceleration for end-to-end data science workloads. Finally we'll cover Numba, which gives you the flexibility to write custom accelerated code without leaving the Python language. We'll finish with an end-to-end example that incorporates all the tools introduced to tackle a geospatial problem. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills to start accelerating your own Python codes with NVIDIA GPUs!
