Training the Trainers: High-Performance Computing Tutorial for Computational Science Professionals Collaborating with Biologists

Meeting dates: March 16-18, 2009

Tutorial description
This NIMBioS High Performance Computing (HPC) Tutorial focused on disseminating the tools necessary for organizations and individuals to leverage computational resources for research at the interface of biological/computational/mathematical research. Knowledgeable computational science individuals who may be HPC novices were invited to attend with the goal of enhancing their institutions' capabilities to leverage HPC resources.

Topics:
TeraGrid resources
Visualization and storage
Queue and submission management
Constraints and benefits of different parallelization approaches
Computational biology resources
MATLAB distributed computing toolbox
Case studies in use of HPC in computational/integrative biology

Leadership Team:
Michael Berry, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, UTK
Jim Ferguson, National Institute for Computational Sciences, UTK/ORNL
Mike Langston, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, UTK
