    1st UK Computational Steering School

    → Europe/Zurich
    STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

    STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
    Helen Wright, Lakshmi Sastry, Martin Turner
    Description

    The 1st UK Computational Steering School, sponsored by CompuSteer and VizNET, will take place at Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, Oxon, on 11th and 12th December 2007.

    Using a mixture of lectures and practicals, participants, who should be competent in either Fortran or C/C++, will learn the principles of steering and how these can be applied to two real, example applications.

    On completing the school, participants will have the required knowledge to begin making their own applications steerable, and will be aware of relevant software, documentation and examples that will help them.

    Participants will also be introduced by talks to the potential of computational steering for collaborative research using Grids, with particular focus upon the UK's National Grid Service.

    This course is now fully subscribed. Please email training-support[at]nesc.ac.uk to be informed of future events dealing with steering.
