This master calendar includes NCSA Events subcalendar, Fellow brown bags, Training, NCSA-related events, Great Lakes Consortium/Virtual School, IACAT events subcalendar, and sometimes TSS/CS events. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/27524466 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/27524466 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:30:00 CDT About the Summit: This Summit will convene leading practitioners, researchers and scholars of innovation to collectively consider how education in the US might be reconfigured to both support and teach innovation as a core curriculum mission, with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Summit participants will identify and articulate strategies for creating and sustaining learning environments that promise the development of innovative thinking skills, behaviors and dispositions that reward students, teachers, faculty and administrators for practicing and tuning these skills. Summit organizers will create a private online space where participants will be encouraged to continue discussions or comment further on the ideas generated over the course of the Summit. Mapping social networks of and among participants will provide insights into how innovation practices are shared and spread across relationships and networks. Ideas that emerge from the Summit will be made publicly available via the Radical Innovation Summit's website. The Summit, and research that is developed from the meeting, is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's DRK12 program.Who can apply: Groups or individuals from Pre-K-12 educational institutions, non-profits, colleges and universities, business industries, or government agencies.Applicants should be conducting research or creating innovative applications relevant to the study or fostering of innovation in education by contributing to teaching and learning in early learning, K-12, higher education, or lifelong learning. Women and individuals from underrepresented groups are highly encouraged to apply.In order to be considered for participation in the Radical Innovation Summit, please respond to the questions below in a one-page 12-point font single spaced narrative.What are your primary area(s) of innovation research or application?Please specify your targeted populations, environments or markets.How does your research or applied project impact education? Please specify whether your innovation is focused on early learning, K12, higher education, or lifelong learning.Why do you consider your work radically innovative and potentially transformative? Please include your definition of innovation in your response.DUE BY April 15, 2013via the electronic submission form at: http://www.nucri.org/RISummit http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28490056 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28490056 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 08:30:00 CDT http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/24568368 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/24568368 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:30:00 CDT Call For Participation is now online, and submissions are encouraged http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28490057 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28490057 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 08:30:00 CDT http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28115166 Conference http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/772/28115166 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:30:00 CDT 2013 is the year that large scale heterogeneous computing becomes a reality. 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. Send submissions to Scott Lathrop at lathrop@illinois.edu.June 1: Acceptances issued.June 10: Workshop registration opens.July 1: Final papers due.Aug. 15-16: Workshop held at University of Colorado, BoulderRegistration, Travel and AccommodationsA registration fee of $150 covers the cost of food and beverages provided at the workshop: breakfast, lunch and dinner on Monday, and breakfast and lunch on Tuesday. A block of rooms will be reserved at a hotel that is within walking distance of the meeting location in Boulder. The room rates in our block are $124/night plus taxes. Participants are responsible for the cost of their own travel and accommodations and making their own travel arrangements. There is a shuttle available to transport people between the Denver airport and Boulder for about $33/person. Additional details about housing and travel will be made available on the web site.Further InformationIf you have questions, please contact Scott Lathrop at lathrop@illinois.edu. We look forward to seeing you at the Extreme Scaling Workshop 2013.WORKSHOP WEBSITE: https://www.xsede.org/web/xscale/xscale13
