OSG School 2023: Learn to harness large-scale computing for research - APPLICATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 17
by Verena Martinez Outschoorn 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Dear TAC-HEP students, I am one of the faculty members on the TAC-HEP team and I am trying to organize the scalable infrastructure portion of the training. There is a very interesting school from the open science grid (OSG) planned for this summer August 7-11 in Madison, WI (please see the announcement below) The deadline for applications is April 17th and requires both a form with a few slightly longer questions and a letter of recommendation for example from your advisor or if you don’t have a suggestion for someone please let me know and I can help. In case it is useful, I have copied the longer questions on this google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqo… <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqo…> I think you all fit in the category of researchers (especially graduate students) for which large-scale computing is a key part of the research process, so hopefully this will be an interesting school for you! Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help with. Thank you in advance!

TAC-HEP meeting
by Tulika Bose 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Dear all, I'd like to call for a meeting to discuss our plans for the Spring semester and the summer. It would also be good to get an update on the student recruitment and curriculum development plans. I have created a doodle poll for a meeting next week: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/er80x6Bb . Please provide your input there by Friday so that we can converge on a time. I hope that everybody can meet, otherwise, it would be great to have at least 1-2 people from each institute. Many thanks and best regards, Tulika

TAC-HEP update
by Tulika Bose 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

Dear all, Many thanks for the good discussion today. One important update for all and a quick summary of the main points for those of you who could not join today: -- Since the DOE has not made this award public yet, we cannot announce it as news, on official webpages, social media etc. I have asked Jeremy what exactly the constraints are since we are keen to start recruiting widely. He will get back to me by next week when appropriate DOE people are back from vacation. Until then let's stay with targeted recruitment via email to specific students, small groups etc. -- we should work on recruiting students at each of our universities keeping in mind our guidelines (US citizen/permanent resident, interested in taking formal CS courses and training in computational HEP and participating in an R&D project over a 2-year period...). Students can officially be funded via this traineeship only starting Oct 15, the award start date (though funds will likely arrive later as usual). Some students may start only in the Spring semester. -- Interested students (including those starting with the traineeship program in the Spring) can be encouraged to take the course at Princeton which serves also as training module 0 in our proposal: https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1232&c… . Pete is following up on details regarding this but the instructor has already kindly agreed to take on remote students, so we should go ahead and plan for it. Classes start Sep 6! -- we should plan on a curriculum focused meeting in about 2 weeks to talk about the curriculum for the other training modules. Please do meet in small groups before that to discuss the specifics of the training modules that you had signed up for. Thanks and best regards, Tulika
