ANNOUNCING THE OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2016!<br>
<br>
If you could access hundreds or even thousands of computers for your<br>
scholarly work, what could you do? How could it transform your work?<br>
What discoveries might you make?<br>
<br>
We are seeking applicants for the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School<br>
2016, which takes place 25–29 July at the beautiful University of Wisconsin<br>
in Madison. Participants will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC)<br>
to harness vast amounts of computing power for research, applicable to<br>
nearly any field of study (e.g., physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences,<br>
earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, economics, social<br>
sciences, medicine, and more).<br>
<br>
Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG<br>
experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems work, how to run<br>
and manage many jobs and huge datasets to implement a full scientific<br>
computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info.<br>
<br>
Worried about costs? Successful applicants will receive financial support<br>
to attend the OSG School, covering all basic travel, hotel, and food costs.<br>
This is a great deal!<br>
<br>
Ideal candidates are graduate students whose research involves or could<br>
involve large-scale computing — work that cannot be done on one laptop or<br>
a handful of computers. And every year, we accept some post-doctoral<br>
students, faculty, staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a good<br>
case for yourself!<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT DATES<br>
<br>
Application Period (OPEN NOW): 14 March – 15 April 2016<br>
OSG User School: 25–29 July 2016<br>
