Current service & development highlights at SURF

This workshop contains three presentations where each highlights an IT innovative project within SURF:

Casper van Leeuwen, SURFsara on Visualization of Virtual Complex-Fluid Rheometry in a Jupyter Notebook
For the Fortissimo Rheocube project, Electric Ant Lab and SURFsara developed particle and volume visualizations for the post-processing and analysis of complex-fluid simulations within a Jupyter-notebook. RheoCube is a virtual complex-fluids rheometry lab that allows experimental researchers to use novel simulation methods and high-performance computing resources just as they would use a physical rheometer. This talk will focus on the integration of the WebGL particle and volume visualizations within the Jupyter-notebook."

Jeroen Schot, SURFsara on Hosted Jupyter Notebooks for Data Science Education
How can we offer accessible interactive computing environments to our students? For the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science we have set up a Jupyterhub environment at SURFsara to solve this. In this short presentation I will explain why we have chosen this solution by showing the possibilities of Jupyter notebooks.

Peter Hinrich, SURFnet on Recent data transfer developments and the SURFnet testbed
SURFnet enables online collaboration and the sharing of large amounts of data by a fast network and dedicated services for data transfer. It is possible to send a dataset of 1 terabyte in less than fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, transferring data to colleagues worldwide can sometimes be a real hassle. Slow transfers via the Internet often occur when using suboptimal protocols or solutions. In this short presentation you will obtain some basic knowledge of tooling and protocols that will help you to share your data in a fast, secure and easy way!

Data Science Day is this year’s edition of the annual IT Day, an initiative of Information and Technology Services (ITS) which has taken place since 2016. Each year, the event focuses on current IT trends and developments impacting education, research and work at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ. Depending on the theme chosen, the event is either intended for all UU colleagues (and external partners) or for a group of colleagues with a common interest.
