Participating sites sought for 2010 Virtual School events

12/1/2009  8:00 am

The Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering (VSCSE) is recruiting sites to participate in its 2010 summer schools for graduate students.

The VSCSE helps prepare the next generation of computational researchers so they can take full advantage of extreme-scale computing resources, such as the sustained-petaflop Blue Waters system coming online in 2011.

Students participate in the Virtual School summer courses from various sites across the country via high-definition videoconferencing. Each participating site must provide a high-definition classroom that meets the technical requirements outlined at http://www.vscse.org/summerschool/2010/participation.html.

If your institution is interested in being a site for one or more of next summer’s events, please go to http://www.doodle.com/wzsgd44pau6kbmzv to indicate your interest. Final selection of participating sites will be in January 2010.

Topics being considered for the 2010 summer schools are:

  • Scaling to Petascale. Tentative dates: July 6–9
  • Big Data for Science. Tentative dates: July 26–30
  • Many-Core Processors. Tentative dates: Aug. 2–6

If you have questions or suggestions, please contact info@vscse.org.

The Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation (GLCPC) facilitates the widespread and effective use of petascale computing to address frontier research questions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at research, educational, and industrial organizations across the United States. The National Center for Supercomputing Applications, on behalf of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is the lead institution for organizing and managing the GLCPC. © 2011 Board of Trustees University of Illinois.
