• High Performance GPU Computing with NVIDIA, CUDA, and Fermi
    Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 09:30 - 17:30

    CUDA is a parallel computing architecture and programming environment from NVIDIA that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU (graphics processing unit). Computing is evolving from "central processing" on the CPU to "co-processing" on the CPU and GPU. To enable this new computing paradigm, NVIDIA has developed the CUDA parallel computing architecture.

  • ARCS eResearch Services- Supporting Research Collaboration
    Monday, October 4, 2010 - 09:00 - 11:00

    Research groups often face problems, especially when they need to work with others outside their institution. The issues caused by institutional barriers often result in less than ideal working conditions – with lack of collaboration often the unfortunate result.
    • Is your research team located in different places and need to communicate regularly?
    • Does your team need to store large quantities of data and share that easily and securely with each other?

  • Stereoscopic 3D technology: history, principles, and limitations
    Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - 16:00 - 18:00

    In the light of the current commoditisation of stereoscopic capture and 3D displays it is interesting to refect on its long and rich history, dating back even to the very earliest days of photography.

  • OpenCL-U 2011 - iVEC @ UWA Summer School
    Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 09:00 - Wednesday, March 9, 2011 - 17:30

    The steady increase in the number of processing cores being used in modern hardware architectures is forcing engineers to rethink the way they design software by focusing on scalability through concurrency, and effective scheduling of resources.

    This course will concentrate on teaching students the fundamentals of OpenCL, an open standard for programming heterogenous multi-core processors through a straight-forward API, and an ANSI-C99 based parallel programming language.

    The goal of the course is to give students the opportunity to:

  • iVEC eResearch Intern Showcase
    Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 09:00 - Thursday, February 24, 2011 - 17:00

    The iVEC eResearch Intern Showcase is a fantastic opportunity to see first hand the many ways that iVEC’s supercomputing, visualisation and storage infrastructure are used by early-stage researchers from many different fields.

    Cutting edge research from a wide range of disciplines will be on show,with key areas including radio astronomy, computational fluid dynamics, 3D visualisation, geophysics and optical microscopy.

  • My Life with the NBN Competition
    Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 09:00 - Sunday, May 15, 2011 - 23:59

    The National Broadband Network (NBN) is a high speed network designed to reach all Australians. We’d like to hear what you think your life will be like with the NBN.

    To enter, submit your description of how the NBN will affect your life, school or future work. Entries will be assessed on creativity and novelty.

    Entries close midnight Sunday 15th May 2011

    The winner will be notified in the following week and will receive a Nintendo 3DS!

     

  • Understanding Biofilms through Modeling and Simulation
    Friday, May 13, 2011 - 09:30 - 11:00
    Centre for Learning Technology (M016) UWA

    Surprisingly, most microbial organisms do not exist as individuals, but within communities of interconnected members within a matrix of biopolymers. These assemblages are found throughout nature, and many of them are important ecologically and medically. 

    Our understanding of biofilm dynamics can be interesting, challenging and important.  Biofilms provide excellent targets for modeling and simulation, which should enhance greatly our understanding of these phenomena.
