Data Day 2017

September 19th - 20th, 2017

Building 50 Auditorium (19th Sept) and Wang Hall - Building 59 (20th Sept)
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

This Fall, NERSC hosts our data-centric event, Data Day, in combination with the NUG Annual Meeting. The main event will take place on September 19, followed by a half-day hackathon on September 20. The goal: to bring together researchers who use, or are interested in using, NERSC systems for data-intensive work.

On September 19, a full day of talks and tutorials will get you up and running with the latest data-focused tools for scientific computing. Training sessions on machine learning, Python, Machine Learning, the Cori Burst Buffer, and Shifter will be complemented by presentations from scientists already taking advantage of these tools in their own research. 

Stick around for the hack day, and you’ll get a chance to put your new knowledge to work with guided tutorials in machine learning and the Burst Buffer, and experts on hand to answer all your data-related questions. The entire event will be held on site at the lab, in the Building 50 Auditorium and in Wang Hall, NERSC’s new landmark building at Berkeley Lab. Come and learn how to power up your data.
