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/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqoD... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ww4ld6pF1GJ7gs1USWOsmjkwVEHhUiceUY1JKqoDyHQ/edit?usp=sharing
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! Best regards, Verena
ANNOUNCING THE OSG USER SCHOOL 2023!
https://osg-htc.org/user-school-2023/
Has your research computing outgrown your available capacity? How could access to LOTS more computing transform your research or that of others? If you have research workloads that can be broken into many independent, parallel computing tasks, we can help.
We are seeking applicants for the OSG User School 2023, from August 7-11, at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Apply by April 17!
Using lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises, roleplays, and personal consulting with OSG experts, the OSG School will teach you how to use high- throughput computing (HTC) effectively and get your own research work up and running. Past participants have come from physics, chemistry, life sciences, engineering, earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more.
Ideal candidates are:
- Researchers (especially graduate students and post-docs) in any research
area for which large-scale computing is a key part of the research process;
- People (especially students and staff) who support researchers who are
current or potential users of high-throughput computing;
- Instructors (at the post-secondary level) who teach future researchers
and are ready to integrate high-throughput computing into their curriculum.
We pay all basic travel, hotel, and food costs for applicants who are selected to attend. This is a valuable offer!
We are planning a completely in-person event and will strive to provide a healthy environment for all.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Application Period (OPEN NOW): 17 March - 17 April 2023
