PETASCALE DAY CELEBRATION

Date: October 15, 2012

Time: 11:45 AM - 1:30 PM

Location: University of Chicago, Searle 240A/B, 5735 S. Ellis Avenue

The petascale era of high performance computing is here, with new machines that run 10^15 calculations per second. In celebration of Petascale Day (10/15), the Computation Institute and the Research Computing Center invite University of Chicago and Argonne researchers to learn about the opportunities created by petascale computing, and the computational resources available on campus and at the lab.

Lunch will be served.
