The Polar high-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC)
Research Coordination Network invite applications to attend the Polar
High-Performance Computing Training Workshop. Workshop courses will
convene in the mornings of 1-4 August 2017 at Stony Brook University in
Stony Brook, New York.

This workshop is open to polar scientists who would like to increase
their computing knowledge and abilities and will include Software
Carpentry modules on computing fundamentals, as well high-performance
computing (HPC) and reproducibility.

Training topics during the workshop include, but are not limited to, the
basics of UNIX, version control, introduction to HPDC, selecting a HPDC
approach and platform, and publishing and sharing code.

The workshop is free to attend, but participants are expected to cover
their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Space is still available for one or two teams for the hackathon portion
of this event that will take place in the afternoons following the
workshop.

The hackathon is open to teams of two to four people. Teams must submit
a proposal that addresses a science question the team is currently
tackling, poses computational challenges that HPDC can address, and for
which major progress is possible within the limited time frame.
