NICS

OLCF / NICS Fall Training 201
October 18-19, 2011 – Oak Ridge, Tennessee

The National Institute for Computational Sciences (NICS) and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computational Facility (OLCF) invite you to visit the most powerful computing complex in the world in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for the joint Fall Training being conducted on October 18-19, 2011. The goal of this training event is to provide introductory material to users who have little previous experience with NICS or the OLCF. Topics will include basic utilization of the Oak Ridge leadership-class resources available. Experts from the DOE and NSF computational facilities will be on hand to assist you and answer your questions on high-performance computing at the Oak Ridge complex. This event will be simultaneously webcast for those who are unable to attend in person.

Have you been used to using integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio or Eclipse in some of your other projects? Would you like to have some of the convenience and capabilities of such an IDE in your high-performance computing projects? If so, we would like to hear from you in the first of our monthly user calls for our new NSF-funded SI2 project to improve the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform(PTP) to create a workbench for high-performance computing!
