[yt-users] Fwd: Blue Waters Advanced User Workshop and yt development workshop

[Matthew Turk]

Hi everyone,

As noted below, there's going to be a development workshop for yt at
NCSA at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, on October 16 and 17.
This is going to be a dev workshop, but *everyone* is invited (whether
you use Blue Waters or not!).  There isn't yet a set schedule, but I
hope we can spend time on solidifying support for newer frontends,
attaching to running simulations, and hopefully even converting the
n-body codes to forest-of-octree from the current implementation.  I'm
also thinking it might be a good idea to block off an afternoon *just*
for converting any analysis modules or analysis code that works on yt
2 but not yt 3.

In the next few days I will have information about funding for
attendance; please write to me to let me know if you'd like travel
support.  I can't guarantee anything yet, but I am hoping to have some
positive information soon.

Hope to see lots of people there!

-Matt

We are pleased to announce  a three-day, hands-on oriented advanced
user workshop about using Blue Waters to its fullest potential.
Representatives from  Cray, Allinea, PGI and NVIDIA will be on-site to
present material and interact with attendees so bring your own code.
This work shop is targeting existing or recently allocated, advanced
users of Blue Waters.

In conjunction with the Blue Waters Advanced User workshop, we are
pleased to invite people who are interested in participating in
development of the yt project (yt-project.org) to a two-day hands-on
development workshop, focusing on parallel and in situ analysis,
stabilizing existing data format front-ends, and expanding the
capabilities of yt to take advantage of supercomputing resources.
