REU Undergraduate Summer Internships @ Harvard
Fri, Feb 5 2010 08:04
We are pleased to announce summer research opportunities for undergraduates in scientific GPU computing. The amount of scientic data created and gathered is growing faster than the growth rate of computational power, a trend that has been called the information big bang or the data deluge. We are seeking undergraduates majoring in science and engineering who have an interest in scientific GPU computing to participate in a 10-week summer internship.
Students will work with faculty in highly interdisciplinary groups on projects to develop new algorithms and systems that use GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) for applications in astronomy, quantum chemistry, and neuroscience. Participants are part of a large, diverse research community through organized and informal interactions with students, mentors, and faculty in the summer intern programs of the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Program dates are June 6 - August 14.
Students receive a stipend of $3900 and a $300 travel allowance, as well as on-campus housing at no additional charge.
Students may apply at www.reusite.seas.harvard.edu/application.
Application deadline is February 28.

High Performance Computing Journal Club
Thu, Jan 28 2010 08:35
Are you interested in parallel computing? Working with GPUs, clusters or on our Blue Gene? We're looking to get people together that are all interested in computational science. We want to look at all different types of HPC architecture and fields where it is applied. The setup for the journal club will be to meet twice a month to discuss strong papers in the area. For the first meeting of each month we'll select a leading paper from a top conference or journal and the second meeting will focus on a paper from research completed here at Harvard.
The meetings will be held every other Monday at noon in Maxwell Dworkin 323. D.E. Shaw won both the best paper award as well as a Gordon Bell at Supercomputing 2009. So to compliment the talk he is giving Feb 3, we are starting with his paper found at: http://scyourway.supercomputing.org/conference/view/gb116
We'd love to have people from applied sciences as well as computer science involved in the journal club. If you're using parallel computing in your research or just interested in it, please consider coming.
Again, the first meeting details are:
Monday Feb 8, 2010
noon -1 pm
MD 323
Paper to discuss: DE Shaw et al. Millisecond-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Anton
If you have any questions please email Amanda Peters at apeters@fas.harvard.edu.
