Description

This workshop is intended for neuroscientists who need to use high performance computing (HPC) resources computationally intensive tasks such as large modeling projects or analysis of neuroimaging data. The Neuroscience Gateway Portal (NSG http://www.nsgportal.org/) eliminates most administrative and technical barriers, providing free CPU time to users, and easy access to widely used software that currently includes BluePyOpt, Brian, CARLsim, Freesurfer, GENESIS, MATLAB, MOOSE, NEST, NEURON, PyNN, and the Virtual Personalized Multimodal Connectome Pipeline. NSG's web-based interface simplifies the tasks of uploading models or data, specifying job parameters, monitoring job status, and storing and retrieving output data. The workshop will combine didactic presentations by NSG's developers, discussions with experienced users, and hands on instruction in how to use the portal.
