NGS staff are leading the way with the European Cloud
At the EGI Community Forum, the EGI Federated Clouds Task Force led by Matteo Turilli,NGS, presented a demo of a test bed of federated clouds and led two workshops.
OGF 35 (June 17-19, 2012) will be co-located with the HPDC 2012 conference (June 18-22) in Delft, Netherlands. Every effort will be made to schedule group meetings at times most convenient for each group keeping in mind the overall schedule of the conference. All OGF working groups are encouraged to meet at OGF 35 and to participate actively in the co-located workshops and conference events.
The NGS will be hosting a short online seminar series at the beginning of February highlighting some of the services that the NGS provides for the wider e-infrastructure community including the European Grid Initiative.
The NGS will be hosting a short online seminar series at the end of June / early July highlighting some of the services that the NGS provides for the wider e-infrastructure community including the European Grid Initiative (EGI). The seminars are aimed at interested parties from the grid community and further afield. The seminars will be broadcast online on Wednesday mornings at 10.30am (BST) and will last for 30mins with an opportunity for questions. They will also be recorded and be available after the event.
There are already several well established grid and cloud infrastructures in Europe. The next issue is how to exploit these infrastructures, how to port and develop application for these infrastructures and how to extend their user communities.
The main goal of this summer school is to give answers for these questions and to promote best practice examples for potential application developers and users of e-science infrastructures.
The EGI Technical Forum 2012 (TF12) will take place in Prague, Czech Republic between 17-21 September, 2012. The organisers of TF12 invite submissions for abstracts for individual presentations, workshops, training events, demonstrations, posters and sessions for consideration by the Programme Committee (PC).
One of the major hurdles for bioscientists and students working in the area of molecular modelling, ligand docking and molecular dynamics is the need to master command line driven programs on LINUX or UNIX platforms. Often, the one “computer literate” student in the laboratory finds themselves doing work for other who can cope with analysis of the results but who cannot set up the experiment themselves.
