AST-1040948PrimackUC-HIPACC 2010 Astro-Computing Summer School on Galaxy Simulations; July-August 2010; University of California-Santa CruzThe Astro-Computing Summer School on Galaxy Simulations at the new University of California High-Performance Astro-Computing Center (UC-HIPACC) will help to train the next generation of researchers in how to run and analyze simulations of galaxy formation and evolution, and more generally how to exploit the power of current and coming generations of supercomputers. Lectures on all the leading galaxy simulation codes will be given, in most cases by the leading experts in the world, including the authors and main users of these codes. The student body will comprise about 60 of the brightest and best-prepared graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the world who are working on understanding the origin and evolution of galaxies, including both theorists and observers. Codes and sample outputs will be provided to all the students, along with accounts on a new supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center so that they can practice running simulations and analyzing outputs. Ample opportunities will be provided during the school for student interaction with the lecturers and with each other.We are at the early stages of a revolution in computer-aided discovery, with ever-more-realistic simulations and an increasing ability to manipulate, and extract hidden meanings from, enormous datasets. Advances in astrophysics result from a combination of observation and theory, with simulations and data manipulation playing an increasingly important role as computer power increases and codes improve. We must empower astrophysicists to use the new supercomputers efficiently, both to understand astrophysical processes through simulation and to analyze the petabytes and soon exabytes of data that will flow from new telescopes and supercomputers. Educating a new generation of researchers through programs such as this summer school will play an essential role in this effort.

AST-1040948 PRAPRIMACKUC-IHIPACC 2010 ASTRO计算暑期学校，用于银河模拟； 2010年7月至8月；加利福尼亚大学圣克鲁斯大学在加利福尼亚大学新分校高绩效Astrocuting Center（UC-IHIPACC）上对Astro的暑期学校进行了银河模拟，这将有助于培训下一代研究人员，以如何运行和分析银河形成和进化的模拟，以及更普遍地利用当前和即将来临的代价的能力。 在大多数情况下，全球领先的专家，包括这些代码的作者和主要用户，都会为所有领先的Galaxy模拟代码上的讲座提供讲座。 该学生团体将组成大约60个最聪明，最好的研究生和世界上的博士后研究员，他们正在努力了解星系的起源和演变，包括理论家和观察者。 代码和样本输出将提供给所有学生，以及圣地亚哥超级计算机中心的新超级计算机上的帐户，以便他们可以练习运行模拟和分析输出。 在学校期间，将提供充足的机会，以与讲师互相互动，彼此之间的互动。我们正处于计算机辅助发现的革命的早期阶段，具有持续现实的模拟以及越来越多的操纵能力，并从中提取了巨大的数据集。 天体物理学的进步是由于观察和理论的结合而产生的，随着计算机功率的增加和代码的改善，模拟和数据操纵起着越来越重要的作用。 我们必须使天体物理学家有效地使用新的超级计算机，以通过模拟来理解天体物理过程，并分析将从新的望远镜和超级计算机中流出的数据的pa和exabytes。 通过今年暑期学校等课程教育新一代的研究人员将在这项工作中发挥至关重要的作用。
