SUMMARY:Understanding the dynamics of killer electrons in Earth's radiation belts: a synthesis of high-performance computing\, data assimilation\, and physics-based modeling
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nDr. Adam C. Kellerman\, Researcher\,\nEarth\, Planetary\, and Space Sciences\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles \nAbstract:\nThe Van Allen radiation belts are torii-shaped regions of trapped energetic particles\, that in recent years\, have become a principle focus for satellite operators and engineers. During geomagnetic storms\, electrons can be accelerated up to relativistic energies\, where they can penetrate spacecraft shielding and damage electrical systems\, causing permanent damage or loss of spacecraft. In addition\, the high-energy particles can be dangerous for humans in space. Observations from spacecraft in the solar wind and in Earth orbit\, together with physics-based models can provide a means to mitigate the risk by combining the observations and model together to better understand how particles are effected globally\, leading to better space weather prediction. A sophisticated way of obtaining accurate nowcasts is to use data assimilation to combine the observations with a model in an optimal way\, so that one can reconstruct the global structure of the radiation belts at any given time. The Space Environment Modeling Group (SEMG) http://rbm.epss.ucla.edu at UCLA has constructed a data-assimilative version of the state-of-the-art Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code\, which can reproduce global particle dynamics in the radiation belts. In this presentation it is demonstrated how a synthesis of high-performance computing and physics research has supported cutting edge research to develop a model\, which has already been used to rediscover the nature of past geomagnetic superstorms. Further\, the group has developed a framework which is used to make real-time forecasts of the Earth’s radiation belts\, which may be used for mitigation of risks to current spacecraft operators and humans in space. \nPlease RSVP @ http://cfapps.ats.ucla.edu/cfapps/events/rsvp/RSVPNow.cfm?EveID=3476&SecID=3465 \n

SUMMARY:SAS Programming II
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for those who need to learn data manipulation techniques using SAS data and procedure steps to access\, transform\, and summarize SAS data sets. The course builds on the concepts that are presented in the Introduction to SAS Programming workshop and is not recommended for beginning SAS software users. In this hands-on workshop\, you will learn how to control SAS data set input and output; combine SAS data sets; summarize\, read and write different types of data; perform DO loop and SAS array processing; and transform character\, numeric and date variables. This workshop will be presented by an instructor from SAS. \nThis event is from March 23-35 (3 days) in the same location and same time (9-4pm with an hour lunch break). \nNote: This workshop is open ONLY to those who are currently affiliated with UCLA. There will be no online component to this workshop\, and this workshop will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Revision Control Using git
DESCRIPTION:git is a popular revision control software used to track changes of files/directories. git works particularly well with plain text files (program source files\, .tex files etc) \, but binary files work too. It is a great tool to handle your daily scientific workflows\, such as tracking code changes\, paper drafts and data files\, merge changes from your coworkers\, among other possibilities. This class will introduce essential features of git\, followed by how to use free repository hosting services such as github.com and bitbucket.org to make team collaboration easy and effective. Sign up here

SUMMARY:National Leadership Class Computing Resources and Opportunities for UCLA Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Location: 5628 Math Science\, Visualization Portal \nDate and Time: Feb 3 2015 – 2:00pm – 3:00pm \nUCLA-IDRE has an impressive and a very useful Hoffman2 computing infrastructure. It has grown from initial 256 cores to current 12\,000+ cores in a short span of time. It serves a large number of research scientists and enable them to achieve new heights within their computing research. \nThis large size of compute infrastructure is of great help but it may still fall short of computing needs that require extremely large parallel scaling or large memory on a single node. The Department of Energy\, National Science Foundation\, and the National Aeronautical Space Agency support an ecosystem of “leadership class” computing facilities housing some of the world’s most advanced supercomputers and high-end visualization and data analysis resources. These facilities provide “free” computing cycles and storage to researchers from academia. Access to these resources is obtained through an application process that is based on the merit of the research objectives\, and demonstration of the efficacy and parallel scalability of the software to utilize such computing resources. \nThe aim of this presentation is to explain the capabilities of various leadership class computing facilities in USA. Also it will introduce the opportunities and resources available to UCLA researchers in terms of knowledge base\, allocation process as well as in terms of scaling or optimizing their software to better utilize such compute resources. \nSign up Here\n

SUMMARY:IDRE Tech Talk: Building and Linking Local Regional and National Cyberinfrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana researchers and universities have been involved in a concentrated\, collaborative effort to advance state-wide cyberinfrastructure: computing systems\, data storage systems\, advanced instruments and data repositories\, visualization environments\, and people\, all linked together by software and high performance networks. This effort led to a set of interlinked projects that started making a significant difference to the state and created an environment that encouraged increased collaboration. Part of this environment included participation in the US National TeraGrid infrastructure\, and US National networks. This talk describes the overall effort\, the new projects and environment\, the results\, and the lessons learned. RSVP here.
