VSCSE Data Intensive Summer School
June 30 – July 2, 2014
Regenstein Room 122
Are you ready to apply the principles of data intensive computing in your research?
The University of Chicago Research Computing Center, in partnership with Northwestern University, is one of 20 sites across the US that will host the Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering Data Intensive Summer School. The interactive workshop will be delivered through high-definition videoconferencing technology, enabling synchronous audio/video Q&A. Attendees will participate in hands-on lab activities with on-site support from skilled computational specialists from the RCC and Northwestern University.
This school focuses on the skills needed to manage, process and gain insight from large amounts of data. It is targeted at researchers from the physical, biological, economic and social sciences. The Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering (VSCSE) helps graduate students, post-docs, and young professionals from all disciplines and institutions across the country gain the skills they need to use advanced computational resources to advance their research. The Data Intensive Summer School will cover the nuts and bolts of data intensive computing, common tools and software, predictive analytics algorithms, data management and non-relational database models.
Meals and refreshments will be provided each day. See http://rcc.uchicago.edu/news/vscse2014.html for a program guide and registration information.
