2nd UK Computational Steering School
Research Computing Services
Research Computing Services is hosting the 2nd UK Computational Steering School.
The 2nd UK Computational Steering School, supported through the past endeavors of CompuSteer and sponsored by NWGrid and vizNET, will take place at Research Computing Services, The University of Manchester, Kilburn Building, (Undergraduate Training Room) on 18th and 19th March 2008.
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.
