Single session event
A traditional supercomputer bears the image of a humongous, self-contained box built by Cray or IBM, usually too expensive for most people to access except for those associate with national labs and big universities. With advances in technology and an increasing demand for high performance computation, it is now possible to build a temporary supercomputer, organized on the fly, to solve a single problem, whether it be a high level quantum chemistry computation or a simulation of local traffic flow. In this workshop, we will demonstrate how the concept of grid computing can be implemented to hook up a collection of computers and to build a temporary supercomputer for fancy computational tasks. (Bring your own computer!!!)
