Research Computing in the Commercial Cloud
Dec 1, 2009, 9am-noon, Bill Howe & Jeff Gardner
What is cloud computing? How does it work? How much does it cost? How does my research benefit? How do I get started? We will address these questions through a series of hands-on tutorials using the Amazon Web Services commercial cloud platform. At the end of this workshop, participants will be technically and conceptually conversant in cloud computing technologies & will have sufficient experience and sufficient example scripts to start working in the cloud as soon as they get back to the lab.
Registration: RSVP required due to

Watch the ITHS Webinar: "The
eScience Institute: Partners in data-intensive research" –
from the Institute for Translational Health Sciences, Technology
Resources Seminar Series (July 22, 2009).
[Abstract]
eScience Institute: Partners in data-intensive research
– We are in the midst of a generational shift towards
data-intensive research. Across all disciplines, advances in data
acquisition technology – next-generation instruments, sensors,
and simulations – are roughly doubling the total amount of data
collected every 12 months. This "data deluge" requires new solutions
in data management, visualization, and data mining, as well as new
approaches to provisioning the underlying computational
infrastructure. The eScience Institute was created to provide expertise, software
tools and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive science. These
goals are reinforced by the findings of the recently-completed study
of researchers' information technology needs, titled "Conversations
with UW's Research Leaders". Join members of the eScience Institute who will discuss the findings
and recommendations of the Conversations report, share examples of
techniques and approaches for dealing with massive data sets in a
variety of science settings, and describe how we can help you address
the technical challenges in your data-intensive research.
