SDSC 2013 Summer Institute: Discover Big Data

Discover Big Data is the theme of SDSC’s Summer Institute in 2013, reflecting the pressing need for high performance solutions for exploring and analyzing the large volumes of data that science and business applications are now able to generate with ease.  The 5-day summer institute will cover topics in HPC and big data including, data management, data analytics and visualization, and parallel programming models, via discussion of specific use cases and hands-on exercises. Attendees will be introduced to SDSC’s NSF-funded Gordon data-intensive supercomputer as well as other computational resources at SDSC. They will also receive an overview of the NSF XSEDE program—a national-scale cyberinfrastructure for high performance computing. SDSC’s Gordon is a unique resource in XSEDE, given Gordon’s pioneering architecture, which is in concert with SDSC’s vision for supporting data-intensive and big data applications

The 2013 Summer Institute will employ a 3+2 day format. The first 3 days will emphasize data science topics while the last 2 days will emphasize HPC and XSEDE-related topics. The format is designed such that those interested only in Data Science topics, e.g. industry attendees, may attend only the first 3 days, while those who are also interested in HPC and XSEDE, e.g. science users and XSEDE users, may stay for the entire duration.  Further information and registration:  http://www.sdsc.edu/Events/summerinstitute/index.html

2014 INCITE Call for Proposals

Deadline:  Friday, June 28, 2013

The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program promotes transformational advances in science and technology for computationally intensive, large-scale research projects through large allocations of computer time and supporting resources at the Argonne and Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (LCF) centers, operated by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science.

INCITE is currently soliciting proposals of research for awards of time on the 27-petaflops Cray XK7 “Titan” and the 10-petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q “Mira” beginning Calendar Year (CY) 2014. More than five billion core-hours will be allocated for CY 2014. Average awards per project for CY 2014 are expected to be on the order of 50 million core-hours for Titan and 100 million core-hours for Mira, but could be as much as several hundred million core hours. Proposals may be for up to three years.
