Connectionists: Workshop on parallel computation at SFN 2013 meeting

[Ted Carnevale]

A few seats are still available for the workshop

"Using the Neuroscience Gateway Portal for Parallel Simulations"

which will be held from 9 AM to Noon on Saturday, Nov. 9, in downtown
San Diego, CA, just a few blocks from the convention center.
However, the registration deadline is Friday, Oct. 25, so you should
act quickly if you're interested in learning how to use this free
high performance computing resource.

The Neuroscience Gateway Portal (NSG) http://www.nsgportal.org/
is designed for neuroscientists who need to use HPC resources for
large modeling projects.  It simplifies every aspect of the process, 
from applying for CPU time to uploading your model, launching and
monotoring jobs, and downloading results. The NSG already has several
parallel simulators installed, including Brian, MOOSE, NEST, NEURON,
PGENESIS and PyNN.

for further details and the registration form.
