Computation is increasingly central to progress at the frontiers of almost every scientific discipline and to our most challenging feats of engineering. Computer-based simulation enables researchers to predict the behavior of complex systems that are beyond the reach of our most powerful experimental probes or our most sophisticated theories. Computational modeling has greatly advanced the understanding of fundamental processes of nature.  We can now design novel catalysts and high-efficiency engines on computers. Through modeling and simulation, we are able to explore the interior of stars and learn how protein machines work inside living cells. A2C2s high performance computing facilities provide the laboratories for researchers to engage and solve the challenging problems that
affect ASU, Arizona, the Southwest, and our Nation.

We offer a range of services to ASU researchers and industry partners including cycles, storage, networks, software, and intellectual capital.

Leading advanced computing communities with discovery and innovation.

Open Science Grid User School 2013
University of Wisconsin Madison, June 24 – June 27, 2013; Applications due March 29, 2013

If you could access thousands, maybe millions, of hours of computing, how would it transform your research? What discoveries would you make?

We are looking for qualified students to attend the 2013 Open Science Grid (OSG) User School, where they will learn how to use high-throughput computing to harness vast amounts of computing power for research.  Worried about costs? Successful applicants will get financial support to attend the OSG School (June 24-27) at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison.

University of Colorado Boulder, August 15 – Aug 16, 2013

The NSF funded Blue Waters and eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) projects are hosting the seventh in a series of Extreme Scaling workshops on August 15-16, 2013 in Boulder, CO.  This workshop is set up so that science and engineering teams gain an understanding of how to effectively utilize large numbers of accelerated nodes to advance their applications while still having time to exchange and learn best practices.

May 20, 2013 to July 16, 2013

IU conducts a 10 week intern program each summer. Students receive instruction on topics ranging from OpenFlow to the basics of switches and routers. The students also experience being part of a development team and are responsible for the implementation and operation of their dorm room network.  The students leave the program knowing more about the nuts and bolts of networking (e.g., during “router” week, we roll in a Juniper T640 and take it apart), how to problem solve in a group, and how large and small networks are managed.  They also leave the program excited about networking.

For more information contact: summer@incntre.iu.edu or visit http://incntre.iu.edu/summer.
