Hi all, Applications for this summer school close this week!
This is a great fit (and can be a huge multiplier) for folks who need to run a lot of small-medium calculations as part of your work -- parameter sweeps, lots of small simulations, Monte Carlo type methods, analyzing a bunch of data sets -- basically anything that is naturally, or can be, broken into a bunch of independent pieces that could be farmed out to many (usually 100s to 1000s) of computers. Get in touch with me at [email protected] with any questions.
