> Dear Colleague,
>
> Graduate students, post-docs and professionals from academia,  
> government and
> industry are invited to register for the Virtual School to gain the  
> skills they
> need and learn how to harness cutting-edge computational resources.   
> Ohio
> Supercomputer Center will be one of the host sites for the courses  
> offered this
> summer.
>
> SESSIONS:
>
> July 6-9, 2010,  Petascale Programming Environments and Tools
>
> July 26-30, 2010, Big Data for Science
>
> August 2-6, 2010, Proven Algorithmic Techniques for Many-core  
> Processors
>
> DESCRIPTION:
> Want to learn how to use graphics processors for scientific  
> computing? Scale your parallel code to tens of thousands of CPU  
> cores? Deal with ginormous datasets? The Virtual School of  
> Computational Science and Engineering offers these courses and more  
> during its summer program for 2010!
>
> Since 2008, nearly 250 students and researchers have participated in  
> the annual Summer School offered by the Virtual School. During  
> Summer School, students learn new techniques for applying high- 
> performance computing systems to their work. Due to overwhelming  
> demand for courses in previous Summer Schools, we have added 15  
> sites (for a total of 21 sites) - including Ohio Supercomputer  
> Center - to the 2010 program in order to accommodate additional  
> students. For each course, students attend on-site in one of 10  
> state-of-the-art, distributed high-definition (HD) classrooms,  
> located at academic and research institutions across the country.
>
> Students attend technical sessions presented by leading researchers  
> in computational science and engineering and use cutting edge, high- 
> performance computing systems provided by TeraGrid resource  
> providers. Course participants apply the techniques learned in hands- 
> on lab sessions, assisted by skilled teaching assistants who work  
> one-on-one and in small groups to answer questions and solve  
> problems posed during the sessions. This summer's courses are:
>
>     * Petascale Programming Environments and Tools, July 6-9, 2010  
> (on-site)
>           o Introduction to MPI, June 7-18 (optional online short  
> course)
>           o Introduction to OpenMP, June 21-July 2 (optional online  
> short course)
>     * Big Data for Science, July 26-30, 2010 (on-site)
>     * Proven Algorithmic Techniques for Many-core Processors, August  
> 2-6, 2010 (on-site)
>           o Introduction to CUDA, July 12-23 (optional online short  
> course)
>
> The cost for each course (including any optional short course) is  
> just $100. Visit our hub at https://hub.vscse.org/ to enroll in the  
> Virtual School. After enrolling, on-site students register by  
> selecting their courses and indicating which of the distributed HD  
> classrooms they would like to attend.
>
> Snacks and an evening reception will be provided; participants are  
> responsible for travel and lodging costs (low-cost dorm  
> accommodations will be provided where possible). Because of the  
> large geographic diversity of participating sites, it is likely that  
> little travel will be required.
