ANNOUNCING THE OSG VIRTUAL SCHOOL 2021!<br>
<br>
If you could access hundreds or even thousands of computers for your<br>
scholarly work or the work you support, what could you do? How could it<br>
transform research? What discoveries might be made?<br>
<br>
We are seeking applicants for the OSG Virtual School 2021, which will take<br>
place the weeks of August 2-6 and 9-13. As the name indicates, the School<br>
will be all virtual again this year.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://opensciencegrid.org/virtual-school-2021/" target="_blank">https://opensciencegrid.org/virtual-school-2021/</a><br>
<br>
Participants will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC) to harness<br>
vast amounts of computing power for research, applicable to nearly any<br>
field of study. In past Schools, we have helped people in physics,<br>
chemistry, engineering, life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and<br>
animal sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more.<br>
<br>
For more background: <a href="https://chtc.cs.wisc.edu/" target="_blank">https://chtc.cs.wisc.edu/</a><br>
<br>
Using lectures, demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and one-on-one<br>
consulting with OSG experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems<br>
work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets, how to implement a<br>
realistic scientific computing workflow, and most importantly, how to get<br>
your own research work up and running during the event.<br>
<br>
Participation in the event is free, but a selective application process is<br>
required.<br>
<br>
Ideal candidates are graduate students doing research and staff (e.g.,<br>
facilitators, admins) supporting research that involves or could involve<br>
large-scale computing - work that cannot be done on one laptop or a handful<br>
of computers. Also, we accept some post-doctoral students, faculty,<br>
research staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a strong case for<br>
yourself regardless of your current role!<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT DATES<br>
<br>
Application Period (OPEN NOW): 7-28 May 2021<br>
OSG Virtual School: 2-13 August 2021<br>
