[OMPI devel] ORTE Tutorial Materials

[Ralph H Castain]

Hello all

The materials for Thursday's session of the ORTE tutorial are now complete
and stable. I have posted them on the OpenRTE web site at:

http://www.open-rte.org/papers/tutorial-sept-2006/index.php

Both Powerpoint and PDF (printed two slides/page) formats are available.

I should have the materials for Friday on the web site later today - I may
not totally complete them until Thurs night (sigh).

The broadcast will be done using a shared desktop approach that involves a
virtual whiteboard. I haven't used this before, but I'm hoping it will all
work satisfactorily.

For those non-LANL folks attending in person, I remind you that cell phones
and computers (unless specifically pre-approved by the Lab) are not allowed
in the building. I will attempt to have hardcopies of the materials for you
to use (can't promise just yet).

Cheers
Ralph

Thanks for Your consideration -- for us, the different startup-methods 
(core-concepts.pdf) and architectural design (here, the different 
life-cycles, including planned persistent behavior and of course the 
cell-design with the interaction of GPR to RAS and RMAP) is most interesting.

Well, we already plan to stay until around ten o'clock... So we would also 
stay for part time of the afternoon session, as well.

Thanks,
Rainer

In general, I have no problem with starting a little later Thurs. However, I
have found out that nothing was done regarding setting up of meals for the
tutorial, so we are on our own for lunch and breaks. Given traffic issues
etc, we will probably need to break at 11am local time for lunch each day.

So if we don't start until 9am, it will be a short morning session...and
going later makes it very hard on Europe.

I'm hoping the Europeans will answer my earlier email about their specific
areas of interest. Could be that I can creatively schedule those things into
the mornings, and put other things later on Thurs.

Let's see what I can do...

[OMPI devel] ORTE tutorial

[Ralph H Castain]

Yo folks

I need to do a little planning and it would help a bunch to have a
preliminary head count. Could you please let me know (a) if you plan to
participate in the tutorial, and (b) indicate if in-person or remote?

For an agenda, my thought is that we will start at 7am Mountain time (that's
9am Eastern) and stop around 2pm Mountain (4pm Eastern) both days so we keep
things as manageable as possible for our European participants.

Comments on the agenda are welcome. I hope to put something out a little
later today.

Ralph

[OMPI devel] ORTE tutorial

[Ralph Castain]

This is intended for those European folks that plan to participate in the
ORTE tutorial on Sept 28-29.

I am sensitive to the fact that you are well ahead of us in terms of time.
Is there some way we could organize our agenda to make things easier on you?
If you review the syllabus posted on the OpenRTE web site (www.open-rte.org,
look at the news column on the right side), are there particular topics you
definitely want to attend, and others you would rather not attend?

You will note that I already have the materials for some of the modules
posted on the site. I will be adding more modules in the next few days to
complete the materials. This may give you a better idea of what I intend to
cover, and to what depth. My intent is that this will be an interactive
tutorial, with design discussions and changes being made as we go.

I need to keep the modules in some order to make then understandable, but
hate to impose upon you late into your night just so you can hear a topic of
interest to you.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this easier on you.

Thanks
Ralph
