This workshop aims to take you further down your reproducibility path, by providing concepts and tools you can use in your everyday workflows. It is discipline and experience agnostic, and no coding experience is needed.
We will also examine how Reproducible Research builds business continuity into your research group, how the culture in your institute ecosystem can affect Reproducibility and how you can identify and address risks to your knowledge.
The workshop can be used as self-paced or as an instructor

This video explains software containers to a research audience. It is an introduction to why containers are beneficial for research. These benefits are standardisation, portability, reliability and reproducibility.
Software Containers in research are a solution that addresses the challenge of a replicable computational environment and supports reproducibility of research results. Understanding the concept of software containers enables researchers to better communicate their research needs with their colleagues and other researchers using and developing containers.

Stereo-video workflows for fish and benthic ecologists
https://globalarchivemanual.github.io/CheckEM/index.html
https://dresa.org.au/materials/stereo-video-workflows-for-fish-and-benthic-ecologists
Stereo imagery is widely used by research institutions and management bodies around the world as a cost-effective and non-destructive method to research and monitor fish and habitats (Whitmarsh, Fairweather and Huveneers, 2017). Stereo-video can provide accurate and precise size and range measurements and can be used to study spatial and temporal patterns in fish assemblages (McLean et al., 2016), habitat composition and complexity (Collins et al., 2017), behaviour (Goetze et al., 2017), responses to anthropogenic pressures (Bosch et al., 2022) and the recovery and growth of benthic fauna (Langlois et al. 2020). It is important that users of stereo-video collect, annotate, quality control and store their data in a consistent manner, to ensure data produced is of the highest quality possible and to enable large scale collaborations. Here we collate existing best practices and propose new tools to equip ecologists to ensure that all aspects of the stereo-video workflow are performed in a consistent way.

You will learn how to use the rocprof profiler and trace visualization tool that has long been available as part of the ROCm software suite.
You will also learn how to use the new Omnitools - Omnitrace and Omniperf - that were introduced at the end of 2022. Omnitrace is a powerful tracing profiler for both CPU and GPU. It can collect data from a much wider range of sources and includes hardware counters and sampling approaches. Omniperf is a performance analysis tool that can help you pinpoint how your application is performing with a visual view of the memory hierarchy on the GPU as well as reporting the percentage of peak for many different measurements.

10 Reproducible Research things - Building Business Continuity
https://guereslib.github.io/ten-reproducible-research-things/
https://dresa.org.au/materials/9-reproducible-research-things-building-business-continuity
The idea that you can duplicate an experiment and get the same conclusion is the basis for all scientific discoveries. Reproducible research is data analysis that starts with the raw data and offers a transparent workflow to arrive at the same results and conclusions. However not all studies are replicable due to lack of information on the process. Therefore, reproducibility in research is extremely important.
Researchers genuinely want to make their research more reproducible, but sometimes don’t know where to start and often don’t have the available time to investigate or establish methods on how reproducible research can speed up every day work. We aim for the philosophy “Be better than you were yesterday”. Reproducibility is a process, and we highlight there is no expectation to go from beginner to expert in a single workshop. Instead, we offer some steps you can take towards the reproducibility path following our Steps to Reproducible Research self paced program.

https://dresa.org.au/materials/porting-the-multi-gpu-self-fluids-code-to-hipfort
In this presentation by Dr. Joseph Schoonover of Fluid Numerics LLC, Joe shares their experience with the porting process for SELF-Fluids from multi-GPU CUDA-Fortran to multi-GPU HIPFort.
The presentation covers the design principles and roadmap for SELF and the strategy to port from Nvidia-only platforms to AMD & Nvidia GPUs. Also discussed are the hurdles encountered along the way and considerations for developing multi-GPU accelerated applications in Fortran.
SELF is an object-oriented Fortran library that supports the implementation of Spectral Element Methods for solving partial differential equations. SELF-Fluids is an implementation of SELF that solves the compressible Navier Stokes equations on CPU only and GPU accelerated compute platforms using the Discontinuous Galerkin Spectral Element Method. The SELF API is designed based on the assumption that SEM developers and researchers need to be able to implement derivatives in 1-D and divergence, gradient, and curl in 2-D and 3-D on scalar, vector, and tensor functions using spectral collocation, continuous Galerkin, and discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods.
The presentation discussion is placed in context of the Exascale era, where we're faced with a zoo of available compute hardware. Because of this, SELF routines provide support for GPU acceleration through AMD’s HIP and support for multi-core, multi-node, and multi-GPU platforms with MPI.

This PPT was used by Jean Favre, senior visualisation software engineer at CSCS, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre during his presentation at P'Con '21 (Pawsey's first PaCER Conference).
This material discusses the upcoming release of ParaView v5.10, a leading scientific visualisation application. In this release ParaView consolidates its implementation of the Catalyst API, a specification developed for simulations and scientific data producers to analyse and visualise data in situ.
The material reviews some of the terminology and issues of different in-situ visualisation scenarios, then reviews early Data Adaptors for tight-coupling of simulations and visualisation solutions. This is followed by an introduction of Conduit, an intuitive model for describing hierarchical scientific data. Both ParaView-Catalyst and Ascent use Conduit’s Mesh Blueprint, a set of conventions to describe computational simulation meshes.
Finally, the materials present CSCS’ early experience in adopting ParaView-Catalyst and Ascent via two concrete examples of instrumentation of some proxy numerical applications.
