Connectionists: high performance computing with the Neuroscience Gateway Portal

[Ted Carnevale]

Space is still available in the workshop on the Neuroscience Gateway
Portal (NSG), but if you are interested you should act soon because
space is limited and the registration deadline is Friday Oct. 28.

The NSG is an NSF-supported resource for neuroscientists whose
research involves computationally intensive modeling and/or data
analysis.  It has a simple, convenient user interface for running
simulations and data analysis tasks on HPC hardware, and provides free
CPU time.  Currently installed software includes Brian, GENESIS, MOOSE,
NEST, NEURON, PyNN, Freesurfer, and the Virtual Personalized Multimodal
Connectome Pipeline.

The workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 9 AM to noon,
just before the start of the 2016 SFN meeting, at a downtown
San Diego location near the convention center.  The agenda includes
instruction on how to use the NSG in your own research, a hands-on
exercise, and presentations by research teams about how they are using
the NSG for their own high performance computing needs.
