Connectionists: workshop on high performance computing in neuroscience

[Ted Carnevale]

This year the workshop on the Neuroscience Gateway Portal (NSG)
will be held on Saturday, Nov. 11, from 9 AM to noon in downtown
Washington DC near the convention center, as a satellite to the
Society for Neuroscience meeting.  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 neuroscientists on how they are using
high performance computing (HPC) resources in their own research.

The NSG has a simple, convenient browser-based interface for running
simulations and data analysis tasks on HPC hardware, and provides
free CPU time.  It also has a RESTful interface for programmatic
access.  Currently installed software includes BluePyOpt, Brian,
CARLsim, Freesurfer, GENESIS, MATLAB, MOOSE, NEST, NEURON, PyNN,
and the Virtual Personalized Multimodal Connectome Pipeline.

The registration deadline for this workshop is Friday Oct. 27,
but you should register soon because space is limited. See
