Dear Students and Colleagues,
We wish to bring to your attention an exciting two-and-a-half-day weekend educational workshop in large-scale and high-performance grid computing.
This intensive workshop introduces the techniques of grid and distributed computing for science and engineering fields, with hands-on training in the use of national grid computing resources. The workshop introduces essential skills that will be needed by researchers in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, and computer science to conduct and support large-scale computation and data analysis in emerging grid and distributed computing environments.
The workshop will focus on enabling the use of national cyberinfrastructure facilities - the Open Science Grid and TeraGrid - to perform large-scale computations and data-intensive processing in your field of research. Participants will learn to use grids of thousands of processors and will be able to continue to use these resources for their research after the workshop.
The workshop will cover:
- Overview of distributed computing concepts and tools
- Wide-area high speed optical networking
- Concepts, tools, and techniques of grid computing
- Discovering and using grid resources
- Grid scheduling and distributed data management
- Techniques for workflow and collaboration
The school will take place at the University of Texas Brownsville in the Rio Grande valley in southern Texas.
Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, faculty, educators and professionals in engineering, computer science, or any
scientific, data- or computing-intensive discipline are encourage to apply.
Applicants should have at least intermediate programming skills (one to two semesters experience in C/C++, Java, Perl, and/or Python) and hands-on experience with UNIX / Linux in a networked environment.
Space is limited, and the deadline for application is May 27, 2007.
Applicants will be notified of acceptance by May 29.
