Spaces Still Available for Scaling to Petascale Workshop at LSU, Aug. 3-7
Eligible graduate students still can register for the Scaling to Petascale workshop, which will take place at CCT Aug. 3-7, in Johnston 338. This workshop is part of CCT’s collaboration with the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computing.
This Virtual School summer school will provide graduate students with knowledge of the challenges, opportunities, techniques, and evolving resources for scaling science and engineering codes onto petascale computing systems.
The Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering, in conjunction with LSU through CCT, The National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, The National Institute for Computational Sciences in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and The University of Michigan, is hosting the workshop.
Students who wish to participate in this workshop at CCT should send a message to virtualschool@ncsa.uiuc.edu indicating their desire to attend. There is no registration fee for this workshop!
