Faculty Camp 2006, July 31 - August 18

See the Faculty Camp Agenda

The three-week Faculty Camp, beginning Monday, July 31st, encompasses the necessary survival skills for High Performance Computing (HPC). Topics include, but are not limited to, Unix basics, batch processing, scripting, parallel programming concepts and techniques, and basic familiarization with various visualization packages. More advanced topics will be covered as attendees request them.

A series of seminars and hands-on experiences, presented by ARSC staff, UAF/ARSC Joint Faculty and current users, provide participants with assistance and expertise while they focus on independent work and self-guided study for individual projects.

This year's faculty camp will again include sessions from Angelo Rossi, a former employee of the Advanced Computing Technology Center at IBM who now teaches computational chemistry at York College of the City University of New York. He will be providing IBM hardware, software, and tools lectures as well as his expertise in computational chemistry.

Those interested are invited to submit a short, 250-word description of the skills you want to develop and the project you intend to pursue. This will assist ARSC in organizing events and speakers to address the specific needs of the attendees. Abstracts should be submitted to Tom Logan ().

Please submit your text in ASCII or pdf format no later than May 17.

Successful applicants will be notified by May 26. Those accepted are expected to participate full-time during the three weeks of Faculty Camp. UA researchers will be compensated at regular salary.
