[Data-Mongers] Interested in cloud computing? seminar and tutorial on June 20

[Stace Beaulieu]

Data-Mongers and Bioinformatics folks:

*WHOI's Data Science Summer Series 
<https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Y9kXVZZ3Fd2xJxW8gnIluXeHZ3M6QrGgqBzzuHm86VU/edit?usp=sharing>**will 
kick-off on June 20th**with a seminar and tutorial for the Jetstream 
cloud computing platform* (https://jetstream-cloud.org/), led by Jeremy 
Fischer from Indiana University. Jetstream is a production cloud system 
funded by the NSF for the national science and engineering research 
communities - meaning: it's available to us for free. Jetstream is a 
user-friendly cloud environment created to give researchers and students 
access to computing and data analysis resources on demand. Jetstream may 
be used for creating workflows to either use at smaller scale with a 
handful of CPUs or to port to larger environments after doing your proof 
of concept work at a smaller level.

*Location: WHOI Smith Conf. Room (Village Campus)*

*Date/time: June 20, seminar 11am - noon, tutorial 1 - 4pm*

Come to the seminar at 11am for an overview of Jetstream. Then join us 
in the afternoon from 1 - 4pm with your laptop for a hands-on tutorial 
using Jetstream via the Atmosphere web interface. This will include a 
guided walk-through of the interface itself, the features provided, the 
image catalog, launching and using virtual machines on Jetstream, using 
volume-based storage, and best practices.

Atmosphere is well-suited to both novices and advanced users of HPC 
resources. This tutorial is generally aimed at those unfamiliar with 
cloud computing. While we will not cover advanced topics in this 
particular tutorial, we will touch on the available advanced 
capabilities during the initial overview.
