http://illinois.edu/calendar/list/4317 A list of events from eDream collaborators & partners. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/4317/26743725 Exhibit http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/4317/26743725 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:00:00 CDT KAM is excited to open its newly designed gallery devoted to the arts of Africa. Visitors will be welcomed by a completely renovated space with a new interpretive framework, casework, lighting, layout, and entranceways into the gallery. The thematically organized installation is inspired by the idea that objects can 'tell' multiple stories, not only about themselves but also about the broader social contexts and often fraught global histories through which they have journeyed. Indeed, as a 21st century museum, KAM is committed to raising awareness about the 'life histories' of African artworks, as well as the museum's role in shaping our understanding of those histories. The installation will display approximately 70 artworks from KAM's African holdings, many of which have not been on view for decades. An 18th-century bronze hip mask from the Kingdom of Benin testifies both to the mastery of the bronze casting workshops of the Oba's court and to the illicit means by which many such objects were taken from the Oba's palace during the British punitive expedition of 1897. Another collection highlight includes a grouping of small, intimate works by Chokwe, Kuba, Dogon, and Pende artists that were made to be held, carried, or serve otherworldly forces. These objects invite close looking and possess a grace that transcends their modest dimensions. The new exhibition space and installation design for the African Gallery has been conceived and detailed by Rice+Lipka Architects, New York. There will also be an accompanying brochure for the reinstallation, designed by Studio Blue, Chicago.

Systems such as Blue Waters, Stampede, and Titan take a major step from modest scale, heterogeneous test beds and prototypes to world-class, extreme-scale heterogeneous computing systems.. Through the use of these systems, the science and engineering community has access to excellent resources and services to experience multiple ways to harness manycore processes for their applications.The NSF funded Blue Waters and eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) projects are hosting the seventh in a series of Extreme Scaling workshops. The workshop will address large scale heterogeneous computing through a series of talks and discussions for sharing experiences and successes making use of the new types resources of GPUs and manycore processors. This workshop is set up to provide a sufficient period of time for science and engineering teams to gain understanding on utilizing these systems to advance their applications while still having time to exchange and learn best practices.The workshop goal is to inform research and education communities about how to effectively utilize large numbers of accelerated nodes. The dissemination of information will occur through presentations, discussions, and workshop proceedings that will include recommendations from the presenters and participants who have had experience with these technologies. The workshop organizers plan to seek ACM SIG affiliation to include the proceedings in the ACM digital library.Key DatesMay 15: Paper abstracts and white paper submissions due.
