This week-long workshop is appropriate for all levels of researchers, faculty, staff, and graduate students, from new users of advanced computing technologies, to those who have research projects requiring powerful computing, visualization, storage, or software. We encourage participation from Minority Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
- Researchers across disciplines: Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Geology & Geophysics, Computer Sciences, Biosciences, Nanosciences...
- Graduate and undergraduate students
- Current TACC & TeraGrid users
- Industrial affiliates
The Institute will provide researchers with an intensive introduction to using TACC’s computing resources. Senior TACC staff will deliver presentations and lead interactive lab sessions focused on using TACC’s advanced computing resources and technologies:
- Ranger: Sun Constellation Linux Cluster
- Spur: Sun Remote Visualization Cluster
- Lonestar: Dell Linux Cluster
- Visualization & data analysis systems
- Ranch: Massive Petascale archival storage systems
- Grid computing technologies.
Lectures and Labs: Senior TACC staff will deliver presentations and lead interactive laboratory sessions:
- Obtaining access to TACC resources and services
- Reviewing the hardware and software available on TACC resources
- Developing parallel programs with OpenMP and MPI
- Using visualization and data analysis software and systems
- Developing distributed computing applications
- Analyzing and optimizing application performance
- Using distributed resources with grid computing technologies
Applications Seminars: Leading computational researchers will discuss their work, including examples of how they are utilizing TACC’s resources.
Consulting: On the final day of the Institute, TACC staff will assist participants in applying the techniques and technologies covered in the Institute to their own applications.
