This may be of interest to code4lib folks. Applications open until the end of March! ANNOUNCING THE OPEN SCIENCE GRID USER SCHOOL 2020! If you could access hundreds or even thousands of computers for your scholarly work or the work you support, what could you do? How could it transform research? What discoveries might be made? We are seeking applicants for the Open Science Grid (OSG) User School 2020, which takes place July 6-10 at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Participants will learn to use high throughput computing (HTC) to harness vast amounts of computing power for research, applicable to nearly any field of study (e.g., physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, earth sciences, agricultural and animal sciences, economics, social sciences, medicine, and more). For more background: https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/htc.html Using lectures, discussions, roleplays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG experts in HTC, participants will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets, how to implement a realistic scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info. Worried about costs? We pay all basic travel, hotel, and food costs for applicants who are selected to attend. This is a valuable offer! Ideal candidates are graduate students doing research and staff (e.g., facilitators, admins) supporting research that involves or could involve large-scale computing - work that cannot be done on one laptop or a handful of computers. Also, we accept some post-doctoral students, faculty, research staff, and advanced undergraduates, so make a strong case for yourself regardless of your current role!
