RTD2014: Bigger. Better. Further. Faster.
Missouri University of Science and Technology will be holding their fourth annual Research and Technology Development (RTD2014) conference on September 15-16.
This conference is oriented at professional networking and also providing useful information about specific technology areas that the HPC community may find beneficial.
This year at RTD2014, information will be provided in the areas of computational science (University of Oklahoma and University of Nebraska), Additive Manufacturing, (University of Louisville and Missouri S&T) and Large Scale Visualization (Indiana University and University of Texas). You can learn more at the RTD2014 web site: https://rtd2014.mst.edu
In addition, the RTD street party is a networking event not to be missed (Monday night). In keeping with S&T interests, there will be catered BBQ (from various vendors across Missouri), music, and a fireworks show by the S&T explosives experts.
Keynote speakers this year include (Monday) Wesley Chun, from Google (https://rtd2014.mst.edu/Bios/ ), and (Tuesday) Mark Suskin, PhD, from the NSF Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (https://rtd2014.mst.edu/Bios/ )
There are also hands-on workshops and sessions to meet S&T faculty and Birds of a Feather sessions (which you can host if you wish).
There is no cost to attend, but you must register to be eligible to attend all of the events. The subject matter is suitable for academics, graduate students, research support staff, and technologists.
