Would you like to learn how to write programs that can scale up to hundreds or thousands of machines?

This tutorial will provide an introduction to writing scalable programs using Makeflow and Work Queue. These tools are used at Notre Dame and around the world to attack large problems in fields such as biology, chemistry, data mining, economics, physics, and more. Using these tools, you will be able to write programs that can scale up to hundreds or thousands of machines drawn from clusters, clouds, and grids.

This tutorial is appropriate for new graduate students, undergraduate researchers, and research staff involved in computing in any department on campus. Some familiarity with Unix and the ability to program in Python, Perl, or C is required.

The class will consist of half lecture and half hands-on instruction in a computer equipped classroom. The instructors are Dinesh Rajan and Michael Albrecht, developers of the software who are PhD students in the CSE department.

For questions about the tutorial, contact Dinesh Rajan, dpandiar AT nd.edu.
