Connectionists: workshop on high performance computing in neuroscience

[Ted Carnevale]

This year's workshop on the Neuroscience Gateway Portal (NSG)
will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 9 AM to noon in downtown
San Diego near the convention center, as a satellite to the
2016 meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.  This workshop
will show you how to use this NSF-supported resource in your
computationally-intensive modeling and data analysis projects.
It will also feature presentations from several research teams
about how they are using high performance computing (HPC)
resources in their own research.

The NSG 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 registration deadline for this workshop is Friday Oct. 28,
but you should register soon because space is limited. See
