- 10:00 AM7hMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryExhibition Dates: September 12, 2024 - October 11, 2024Charles Clary's Memento Morididdle installations take the form of Victorian or Rococo salon style walls, densely compacted with hundreds of frames, with each frame containing a paper sculpture. This maximalist approach to his installation practice achieves the desired outcome of overwhelming the viewer with an inundation of information. But unlike historic sitting rooms, he collects his traumas, abuses, transgressions and grief for exhibition. These memories are on display for all to see -- no hiding, no masking, just raw truths. Not only are they my traumas, but they are often those of the viewers as well. Collectively we hurt, we grieve and we lament the darkest moments in our lives. Instead of hiding behind walls, we can wear them as badges of honor and growth.Join us for the following:Opening Reception at UCF Art Gallery Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5-7 p.m. - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/opening-reception-memento-morididdle/2024-09-12/17:00/t-gagnldq) Closing Reception & Artist Talk at UCF Art Gallery Friday, Oct. 11, from 5-7 p.m. - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/closing-reception-artist-talk-memento-morididdle/2024-10-11/17:00/t-xmxpdjz)Parking: Free parking is available in Garage F next to the Addition Financial Arena.

- 1:30 PM3hRunning Large Scale Simulations on AWS Using RRunning complex statistical analyses and simulations can often be challenging when compute resources are limited. In this workshop, you will learn you how to leverage the virtually unlimited compute power of the cloud by running a Monte-Carlo simulation using AWS Batch. AWS Batch dynamically provisions the optimal compute resources based on your workload, allowing you to focus on analyzing the results rather than managing infrastructure. You'll learn how to set up a containerized R-based HPC workload using services like Docker, ECR, S3, IAM and Fargate, with AWS Batch as the core service to address your research needs. To participate in the hands-on lab during the session, you will need to provide your own computer with a web browser and a reliable internet connection.This event is not being recorded. Any materials provided by the presenter will be sent to all registrants by the end of the second business day after the conclusion of the event. Please email ResearchITEvents@ucf.edu to request access to the materials two business days after the completion of the event if you did not register.Presented by [Gabriel Brackman](https://rci.research.ucf.edu/events/fall-2024-workshops-speakers/#gabriel-brackman)Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_esyShDTmoDMA5hQ Registration Link: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_esyShDTmoDMA5hQ
