2008 Workshops


Shodor > NCSI > 2008 Workshops

With funding provided by the XSEDE program, and with additional funds from NCSI, there is no fee to attend any NCSI workshop this year.

Applications of HPC, Grids, and Parallel Computing to Science Education
This workshop will begin with an emphasis on parallel and cluster computing in an educational setting as well as teaching issues in Grids and Parallel Environments. Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented, including both simple codes that can be made available for student modification and more complex examples that use state of the art open source community codes.

In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to computational biology and computational chemistry tools and resources. Participants will be introduced to dynamic modeling, bioinformatics, simulation, molecular modeling, mathematical software and visualization viz-a-viz distributed environments and tools.

Super Computing Education Program '08
The SC Conference is the premier international conference for high performance computing (HPC), networking, storage and analysis. SC08 marks the 20th anniversary of the first SC Conference, then called Supercomputing, was held in Orlando, Florida in 1988.

When SC08 opens November 15, 2008 in Austin, Texas, the conference will feature the latest scientific and technical innovations from around the world. Bringing together scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, programmers, system administrators and managers, SC08 will be the forum for demonstrating how these developments are driving new ideas, new discoveries and new industries.

The Education Program runs Nov. 15 through Tuesday, Nov. 19.
