Computational Science and Engineering will use Yahoo!’s cloud computing cluster to conduct large-scale research

Yahoo! today announced that it has expanded its partnerships with top U.S. universities to advance cloud computing research. The University of California at Berkeley, Cornell University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst will join Carnegie Mellon University in using Yahoo!’s cloud computing cluster to conduct large-scale systems software research and explore new applications that analyze Internet-scale data sets, ranging from voting records to online news sources.

At Berkeley the Computational Science and Engineering program anticipates that the Yahoo! cluster will be used by a broad array of faculty investigators and graduate students from social scientists and economists to astrophysicist and Bioengineers. Obviously, an exciting aspect of this work will be working with Yahoo! to analyze large scale social-economical-political data by our faculty and to further refine these target areas, and to identify new ones among the vast array of potential computational research avenues at UC Berkeley and LBNL. The breadth of this enterprise promises to create extensive new applications of interest to Yahoo! for high performance and cloud computing.

Python Bootcamp v2.0

The 2nd Python Bootcamp will be held from January 13 to January 15, 2012. The goal is to teach the basics of Python to those already familiar with another modern computing language. There is an emphasis on computing for scientific research. The camp is a prerequisite for the "CSE: Science Research Computing with Python" seminar to be taught in Spring 2012 as a formal UC Berkeley course (AY 250). The bootcamp itself is open to Berkeley-affiliated students, faculty and staff. You must register to join the bootcamp and registration is limited to about 130 participants: http://register.pythonbootcamp.info/
