Hi all, Another reminder of this summer school opportunity to learn about high throughput computing. See details in my original email below.
A few additions: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are extending the application deadline to Friday, April 10. If you are unsure about applying, given all the uncertainties lately, go ahead and submit an application! Even if this year’s School is postponed or canceled, the first choice of seats at the next School that is offered will go to applicants selected this year. Email me ([email protected]) with any questions! Cheers, Christina ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Christina Koch <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 12:50 PM Subject: OSG User School 2020: Learn to harness large-scale computing for research To: discuss <[email protected]> Hi everyone, Check out this opportunity to learn (hands-on!) how to use high throughput computing approaches for research. I teach at the school, so feel free to contact me ([email protected]) with questions. Note that, because of our funding, we mainly accept people affiliated with US-based projects or institutions; it's very rare that we can offer a spot to someone from outside the US who has no pre-existing relationship w/ a US institution. Cheers, Christina --- ANNOUNCING THE OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2020! If you could access hundreds or even thousands of computers for your scholarly work or the work you support, what could you do? How could it transform research? What discoveries might be made? We are seeking applicants for the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School 2020, which takes place July 6-10 at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Participants will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research, applicable to nearly any field of study (e.g., physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more). For more background: https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/htc.html Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets, how to implement a realistic scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info. Worried about costs? We pay all basic travel, hotel, and food costs for applicants who are selected to attend. This is a valuable offer! Ideal candidates are graduate students doing research and staff (e.g., facilitators, admins) supporting research that involves or could involve large-scale computing - work that cannot be done on one laptop or a handful of computers. Also, we accept some post-doctoral students, faculty, research staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a strong case for yourself regardless of your current role! IMPORTANT DATES Application Period (OPEN NOW): 1–31 March 2020 OSG User School: 6-10 July 2020 MORE INFORMATION AND APPLICATIONS Web: https://www.opensciencegrid.org/user-school-2020/ Email: [email protected] Twitter: https://twitter.com/OSGUserSchool Please forward this announcement to anyone who might benefit from the OSG User School.
