PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP
This edikt workshop will feature a series of talks about research computing around the University. The purpose of the workshop is for researchers to exchange knowledge and experience in research computing amongst interested parties.
The edikt (eScience Data, Information and Knowledge Transformation) project has been running since May 2002 and is using computational science to extract knowledge from vast datasets and simulation models. edikt is funded by the Scottish Funding Council.
For more information on edikt, see the project web site at http://www.edikt.org.
AGENDA
The workshop will cover data management and the new ECDF cluster. The data management talks cover brain imaging and data mining.
The Edinburgh Compute and Data Facility (ECDF) is a new multi- processor computer available for researchers around the University to use. This session, led by IS, will include an update on the status of the ECDF and some experiences of some early users.
