SDSC is now accepting applications to attend its 12th Annual Summer Institute. This year, the Summer Institute will focus on providing solutions for the common limitations faced by our high-end users. The week-long program includes lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions led by experts from SDSC's staff as well as from other institutions who will introduce researchers to technologies that can help them reach their goals faster and more efficiently.

The tentative schedule has been posted online. Sessions include:

• MPI2/MPI I/O
• Performance Characterization of Codes on Different Machines
• Optimization techniques, Profiling, Debugging parallel codes
• UPC
• SDSC Storage Resource Broker
• Data mining
• Using Data visualization tools
• Various Case studies

Deadline for applications is May 25, 2006. But don't wait until the last minute. Space is limited to a maximum of only 35 attendees. Be sure to fill out the entire registration form and include as much information as possible regarding your research. Since we anticipate more applicants than there are spaces, we will select those who will most benefit from the workshop. All applicants will be contacted by June 1, 2006 to inform them whether they have been accepted.

Free accommodations in UCSD student housing will be available to all student attendees, and meals will be provided for all. Travel stipends will be available for qualified, matriculating graduate and undergraduate students at U.S. colleges and universities.
