NCSA Blue Waters hosting “Symposium for Petascale Science and Beyond” — May 12-15, Champaign, IL

Hosted by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the “Symposium for Petascale Science and Beyond” will bring together leaders in petascale computational science and engineering and will be a tremendous opportunity for sharing successes, methods, and future challenges in petascale+ computing and analysis. The symposium is scheduled for May 12-15 in Champaign, IL. Along with presentations from the leaders of Blue Waters science teams, the symposium will provide forums for high-bandwidth information exchanges between teams and investigators. Charles Seife, author of “Decoding the Universe: How the New Science of Information is Explaining Everything in the Cosmos, From Our Brains to Black Holes,” will deliver the keynote address. There is no fee to attend the symposium, but there is limited space and capacity so registration is required. If necessary, priority will be given to Blue Waters science team members. Online registration, along with a draft agenda and logistics details, can be found on the Blue Waters portal: https://bluewaters.ncsa.illinois.edu/symposium-may-2014.
