Projects

NCSI workshop attendees are required to devise, design and execute a project during the week of the workshop, and to give a brief presentation on it at the end of the workshop (Friday afternoon is strongly preferred).
 
Projects should be on a topic related to teaching High Performance Computing and/or Computational and Data-Enabled Science & Engineering, whether at the attendee's institution or elsewhere, and how this teaching will leverage the material covered in this workshop.
 
Student attendees may wish to focus more on how they will put what they've learned to use in their studies.
 
PRESENTATIONS ON AN ATTENDEE'S RESEARCH ARE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
 
Presentations should be 5 minutes long, including time for one or two questions.
 
TEAM PROJECTS/PRESENTATIONS by small groups of attendees are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. A team presentation is limited to 5 minutes total (NOT 5 minutes per team member).
 
Offsite remote attendees (via videoconferencing) CANNOT do project presentations, but are welcome to do projects if they want.

  • Norman:
  • Hato Rey
    • Sunday July 31 - Saturday August 6
      • Workshop Sessions (including after supper open labs):
        Engineering Laboratories Building, room L 301
        (campus map, town map)
      • Meals (excluding breaks):

        (roughly 1 block from the Lab Building)
      • Breaks:
        Engineering Laboratories Building, outside L 301


Before You Arrive

Please review the material here.


Weather

Norman: In early August, Norman weather tends to be hot but not wet. Highs typically are in the 90s and 100s F, lows in the 80s or 70s F, with little or no rain. You probably won't need an umbrella.
 
Hato Rey: Expect warm and possibly wet. Highs typically are in the 80s F (the record is mid-90s F) lows in the 70s F, and rain, possibly including thunderstorms, is reasonably likely. You may want to bring an umbrella.


What to Bring

Clothing: We recommend dressing in layers. Expect to dress light enough for being outdoors a little but in an air conditioned PC lab a lot. The lab may be a bit chilly, to keep the PCs happy.

This is especially true at PUPR, where very strong air conditioning is typical: a common remark from visitors is "Puerto Rico is the coldest place I have felt (indoors)."

Laptops NOT Needed in the PC Labs: You're welcome to bring a laptop with you to Norman or Hato Rey, but you won't need it for the workshop, because Monday August 1 to Saturday August 6 we'll be in PC labs with at least as many PCs as attendees. But, you may want your laptop with you at other times.

DON'T bring extraneous stuff. The PC labs will be very full with people, video equipment, etc.

Lodging

Lodging for attendees at both OU and PUPR has been booked and is being paid by the workshop sponsors.

Norman: Guest Inn
2543 W. Main St, Norman, 405-360-1234

  • Lodging for out-of-town workshop attendees is at the Guest Inn, at no charge to the attendees (except as noted below).
  • You will need to provide the hotel with a credit card for any incidental expenses you may incur (for example, in-room movies, phone charges etc).
  • Accomodations are provided at double occupancy in a NON-SMOKING room with two beds.
  • Check-in is Sunday July 31 and check-out is Saturday August 6.
  • If you would prefer single occupancy, then you will have to pay the difference in room cost. Each room is $273 for the full week, so the upcharge will be half of $273 (i.e., $136.50).
     
    This also applies if you plan to room with non-workshop guests (for example, family).
     
    Please note that we CANNOT guarantee availability of a single room, but it's likely that rooms will be available.
  • If you would prefer a smoking room, please alert us IMMEDIATELY. If we cannot find you a smoking roommate, then you may have to pay the single occupancy upcharge, IF a smoking room is available.
  • If you would like to check in before Sunday July 31 or check out after Saturday August 6, you will need to make separate arrangements with the hotel by calling 405-360-1234.
     
    Please note that the hotel may need to put you in a different room for the extra night(s), and that there is a remote possibility that you may need to stay at a different hotel, depending on availability.
  • The Guest Inn has wireless Internet access throughout, but of course the workshop cannot guarantee the quality of your signal.
  • The Guest Inn provides a daily breakfast in the commons area. We encourage you to take advantage of it, because workshop breakfasts may be somewhat sparse.

Driving Directions to Norman from the Will Rogers World Airport (OKC)

  1. As you drive out of the OKC airport, look for the on-ramp to I-44 on your right. There's only one such on-ramp, which is actually I-44 westbound.
  2. After you've been on I-44 W for a few miles, you'll come to a fork between I-44 W and I-44 E. Stay on I-44 W on the right side.
  3. You'll come to a major curve. DON'T take the I-44 W exit; instead, stay on the same road, which will become I-240 E (go figure).
  4. After several miles, take the I-35 S exit (toward Dallas).
  5. Follow I-35 S out of Oklahoma City, through Moore, and into Norman.


Driving Directions from I-35 to the Guest Inn
2543 W. Main St, Norman, 405-360-1234

  1. From I-35 southbound, take the W Main St exit eastbound toward downtown Norman (I think it's exit #109).
  2. Take Main St eastbound a few blocks.
  3. At the traffic light at N. Interstate Drive, turn left (northbound). Note that it's called N. Interstate Drive on your left but 26th Drive on your right.
  4. The Guest Inn will be immediately on your right (east).


Driving Directions from the Guest Inn to the
Stephenson Research & Technology Center
101 David L. Boren Blvd, Norman
(map)
Sunday July 31 2011 ONLY
Workshop check-in, 5:30-6:00pm @ OU, 6:30-7:00pm @ PUPR
Opening Session, 6:00-8:00pm @ OU, 7:00-9:00pm @ PUPR

  1. From the Guest Inn, go out and turn left (eastbound) onto Main St at the traffic light.
  2. After a few blocks, you'll come to 24th Ave (traffic light). Turn right (southbound) onto 24th Ave.
  3. Take 24th Ave southbound, roughly 1 1/2 miles, crossing traffic lights at Boyd St and Lindsey St, to OK Hwy 9 (traffic light).
  4. At the traffic light, turn left (eastbound) onto OK Hwy 9.
  5. On OK Hwy 9, you'll cross traffic lights at McGee, Imhoff, Chautauqua and then you'll come to a traffic light at Jenkins.
  6. Turn left (northbound) onto Jenkins Ave. On your right hand side, immediately after you turn onto Jenkins, you'll see first the National Weather Center, then David L. Boren Blvd. The Stephenson Research & Technology Center, where the Sunday July 31 evening session will be held, is on Jenkins between David L. Boren Blvd and Columbus.
  7. Turn right (eastbound) onto David L. Boren Blvd., go past the National Weather Center on your right, then turn left (northbound) into the Stephenson parking lot.
  8. If you miss David L. Boren Blvd., then take the next right (eastbound) onto Columbus, and then turn right (southbound) into the Stephenson parking lot.
  9. PARKING: Because parking isn't enforced on weekends, you can park anywhere in the Stephenson parking lot.
