Early adopters report "easier replication, faster deployment and lower configuration and operating costs" of applications that involve Docker containers - an open platform that allows developers and sysadmins to build, ship and execute distributed applications.
Not surprisingly then, a groundswell of organizations are interested in evaluating Docker containers in proof-of-concept initiatives and/or pilot projects. The transition to production use, however, introduces additional requirements as Docker containers need to be incorporated into existing IT infrastructures and (ultimately) integrated into application workflows.
In answering the 5 Ws and one H, the aim of this webinar is to provide a technical overview and demonstration of Docker and to frame its use within the context of High Performance Computing and Big Data Analytics.
Learn all about Docker.
Agenda:
• What are Docker containers - relative to physical machines, VMs and other containers?
• Who is responsible for Docker containers?
• Why and when were Docker containers created?
• What is the container ecosystem?
• Where is use of containers appropriate and not appropriate?
▸ HPC applications?
▸ Big Data Analytics? Specifically, Spark-based applications?
▸ On premise and in the cloud?
▸ Is running Docker different in HPC versus microservice-based applications?
• How can I make use of Docker containers?
▸ How can I containerize my application?
▸ How can I create, or make use of, a Docker image?
▸ How can I run Docker containers as I do other types of workloads?
• Getting Started and Next Steps

Leveraging Lean Six Sigma to Sustain HR OperationsMark Gavora
Lean Six Sigma is a commonly accepted best practice process improvement methodology. In spite of this, it has yet to be consistently adopted by Human Resources. This presentation walks participants through using a lean approach to identify, justify, improve and validate value from an HR operational improvement initiative.

Bright Cluster Manager: A Comprehensive, Integrated Management Solution for P...Ian Lumb
Fast on the uptake, Bright Cluster Manager received the Intel Cluster Ready Voyager Award in 2009. The synergy between Intel’s program and Bright’s software continues to this day. With the introduction of general-availability support for the Intel Xeon Phi in Bright Cluster Manager 6.1, Intel and Bright are already taking the initiative to broaden and deepen this program. At the highest level, Bright 6.1 allows stand-alone Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors to be provisioned, monitored and managed - thus extending what Bright has been able to do for Intel CPUs for some time. Bright support for this new coprocessor from Intel includes recompilation of the appropriate driver against the kernel at boot time, comprehensive networking plus various tailored metrics. Even more interesting, however, is Bright’s ability to incorporate individual Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors as bona fide devices from the more holistic perspective of the cluster. As first-class devices, the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors are monitored and managed on an ongoing basis via the command-line and GUI interfaces in Bright, while also being accessible via the Bright APIs. Because this latest version of Bright also includes enhancements in the area of workload management, organizations can already take advantage of various execution models presented by the hybrid Intel Xeon - Intel Xeon Phi environment - from native to offload modes. Execution-model support targeted specifically to this hybrid CPU-coprocessor based architecture complements existing support that provides a problem-free environment for running compute jobs via Bright's Cluster Health Framework. Overall Bright Cluster Manager 6.1 literally delivers a turnkey capability to organizations that seek to rapidly integrate, and get results from, the introduction of the Intel Xeon Phi into their HPC environments. In this presentation, a brief technical overview of support for the Intel Xeon Phi via Bright Cluster Manager 6.1 will be provided.

El movimiento moderno en la arquitectura venezolana tuvo sus inicios a mediados del siglo XX, influenciado por la corriente internacional del modernismo. Aunque inicialmente fue resistido por la sociedad conservadora y los arquitectos tradicionalistas, poco a poco se fue abriendo camino y dejando una huella importante en el país.
Uno de los arquitectos más destacados de la época fue Carlos Raúl Villanueva, quien dejó un legado significativo en la arquitectura venezolana con obras como la Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, considerada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Su enfoque en la integración de la arquitectura con el entorno natural y la creación de espacios que favorecen la interacción social, marcaron un punto de inflexión en la arquitectura venezolana.
Otro arquitecto importante en la evolución del movimiento moderno en Venezuela fue Tomás Sanabria, quien también abogó por la integración de la arquitectura con el paisaje y la creación de espacios abiertos y funcionales. Su obra más conocida es el Parque Central, un complejo urbanístico que se convirtió en un ícono de la modernidad en Caracas.
En la actualidad, el movimiento moderno sigue teniendo influencia en la arquitectura venezolana, aunque se ha visto enriquecido por nuevas corrientes y enfoques que buscan combinar la modernidad con la identidad cultural del país. Proyectos como el Centro Simón Bolívar, diseñado por el arquitecto Fruto Vivas, son ejemplos de cómo la arquitectura contemporánea en Venezuela sigue evolucionando y adaptándose a las necesidades actuales.
El crecimiento urbano de las ciudades latinoamericanas ha sido muy rápido en las últimas décadas, debido a factores como el crecimiento demográfico, la migración del campo a la ciudad, y el desarrollo económico. Este crecimiento ha llevado a la expansión de las ciudades hacia las áreas periféricas, creando problemas como la falta de infraestructura adecuada, la congestión del tráfico, la contaminación ambiental, y la segregación social.
En muchas ciudades latinoamericanas, el crecimiento urbano ha sido desorganizado y ha resultado en la formación de asentamientos informales o barrios marginales, donde las condiciones de vida son precarias y la población carece de servicios básicos como agua potable, electricidad y transporte público.
Además, el crecimiento urbano descontrolado ha llevado a la destrucción de áreas verdes, la deforestación y la pérdida de biodiversidad, lo que tiene un impacto negativo en el medio ambiente y en la calidad de vida de los habitantes de las ciudades.
Para hacer frente a estos desafíos, las ciudades latinoamericanas están implementando políticas de planificación urbana sostenible, promoviendo la densificación urbana, la revitalización de áreas degradadas, la preservación de espacios verdes y la mejora de la infraestructura y los servicios públicos. También se están llevando a cabo programas de vivienda social y de regularización de asentamientos informales, con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes de estas áreas.
