[Chtc-users] NOTICE - CS 368-002: Introduction to Scripting for CHTC

[Sarah M Cushing <cushing@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear CHTC researcher:

Next semester (Spring 2012), the Center for High-Throughput Computing is
once again offering a course that could help you or your colleagues.
Please share this email with anyone -- staff, graduate students, under-
graduates -- who might benefit from learning to do basic programming for
use in scientific research, especially involving simulation, data
analysis, workflow management, and so forth.

Computer Sciences 368-2: Introduction to Scripting for CHTC

Dates: March 12 - May 6, 2011 (second half of Spring semester)
Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:20-2:10 p.m.
Place: TBD
Instructor: Tim Cartwright

In this 1-credit course, you will learn to use the Python scripting
language and the UW's CHTC computing facility to solve a variety of
research computing challenges: data manipulation, data analysis,
statistical analysis, image processing, workflow automation, etc.

In the past 12 months, researchers on campus have used 45 MILLION hours
of computing time in the CHTC -- for FREE!  If computation is or could
be part of your research, you might benefit from not only getting access
to CHTC, but using basic scripting to harness its full power.

The course is ideal for students, faculty, and staff whose research work
entails significant computing.  Enroll today!
