Hi All, Based on some of the posts I have seen over the year, I thought this might be of interest to some of you.
MIT will be holding some computing / network short courses on campus this summer, maybe of particular interest to you all are: Multicore Programming July 14-18, 2008 http://web.mit.edu/mitpep/pi/courses/multicore_programming.html The course exposes students to fundamental issues in the design of concurrent programs and to the techniques necessary to make effective use of multicore machines. It combines lectures and classwork to gradually enhance students' intuition and technique. And maybe... Introduction to Network Coding August 4-8, 2008 http://web.mit.edu/mitpep/pi/courses/network_coding.html Network coding is a new area of networking, in which data is manipulated inside the network to increase throughput, reduce delay, and improve robustness. This field has recently found commerical applications in content distribution, peer-to-peer design, and enabling high-throughput wireless networks. The goal of this class is to provide participants with the theoretical and practical tools necessary not only to understand the field of network coding, but also to conduct independent, innovative work in the area. The curriculum reflects this mixture of theoretical foundations and practical approaches. _______________________________________________ BBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bbb
