The workshop is open to all researchers throughout the University of California system. Attendees can register on-line until September 30th. Dr. Roope Astala, of Interactive Supercomputing Inc., will be leading the workshop.

"This is a unique opportunity for University of California researchers to get an in-depth presentation of the advanced Star-P system and become familiar with these new tools and techniques to enable high-performance computing research across a wide variety of scientific disciplines", stated Dr. Astala.

As a software platform to link between MATLAB tools and high-performance parallel computing resources, Interactive Supercomputing's Star-P open software platform allows scientists, engineers and analysts to transparently use HPC resources using familiar desktop tools. Star-P software is a client-server parallel-computing platform designed to work with multiple Very High Level Language (VHLL) client applications such as MATLAB or Python, and has built-in tools to expand VHLL computing capability through addition of libraries and hardware-based accelerators. At SDSC, the software is installed on the supercomputer centre's OnDemand system, and offered to all University of California researchers.
