Summer 2008 Education Program Workshops
We are pleased to announce the 2008 summer workshop schedule. Online registration is now open. To learn how to register, visit the registration page, or click on a "Register" button next to one of the workshops listed below.
This summer's workshops are funded and supported by a number of organizations including the SC08 Education Program, National Computational Science Institute, the MAA, TeraGrid, and other sources. We thank these organizations for their support and encourage you to also express your appreciation for their generous support.
Registration is by individual participant. Workshops will run if 12 people register prior to the specified notification date. Registration will remain open until the workshop is full or until 21 days prior to the workshop, whichever occurs first. Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $150. This fee (less a processing charge of $50) will be refunded only if notification of cancellation is received on or before the stated cancellation date.
Applications of HPC, Grids, and Parallel Computing to Science Education
This workshop will begin with an emphasis on parallel and cluster computing in an educational setting as well as teaching issues in Grids and Parallel Environments. Examples suitable for classroom use will be presented, including both simple codes that can be made available for student modification and more complex examples that use state of the art open source community codes.
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be introduced to computational biology and computational chemistry tools and resources. Participants will be introduced to dynamic modeling, bioinformatics, simulation, molecular modeling, mathematical software and visualization viz-a-viz distributed environments and tools.

Computational Physics and Parallel Environments
This workshop focuses on Physics education augmented with the resources of high performance computing (HPC). Primary workshop content draws from the traditional parallel computing curriculum, but additional focus is placed on the use of creating curricular content that demonstrates the use of high performance computing hardware to solve modern-day HPC problems.

Introduction to Modeling, Simulation, and Computational Methods
This three-day workshop is designed for faculty from a broad range of disciplines: science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS). The material covers a broad range of modeling and simulation techniques, e.g. cellular automota, dynamic systems, agents, and Monte Carlo methods. An introduction to using large-scale computational resources will be provided along with credentials and support for continued use of the computational resources after the workshop.
