Distributed High Throughput Computing

Registration: Please visit the OIT website

Place: The Edge Workshop Room, Bostock Library, Duke University

Time: 9:00 AM - 12.00 PM (Part-1) and 1.30 PM - 4.30 PM (Part-2), Oct 29th 2015

This Duke-OSG event is being run by the open science grid (OSG), in collaboration with⋅ Software Carpentry⋅ and Duke Research Computing. The⋅ Open Science Grid (OSG) is a national scale distributed infrastructure for⋅ scientific computing. Software Carpentry's mission is to help scientists and engineers⋅ become more productive by teaching them basic lab skills for computing like program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Duke Research Computing offers⋅ services that are useful to research computing “as it is practiced” across Duke and⋅ often in collaboration with researchers at other institutions.

Come to this session to learn all about DHTC and the basics of grid computing. For example,

• what is distributed high throughput computing
• what are the best practices of DHTC
• How to split your computation into many independent jobs
• How to manage a scientific workflow
