[CIG-GEODYN] 2018 Rayleigh Workshop, September 16-19, Boulder, Colorado:

[Lorraine Hwang]

23 July 2018
Dear CIG Community:

Don’t forget to secure your spot for the upcoming  2018 Rayleigh Workshop 15-19 September 2018 at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  Rayleigh is designed for the study of MHD turbulence and convection in spherical (and soon Cartesian) geometries using a pseudo-spectral approach and runs efficiently on O(10^5) cores.  
The workshop consists of TWO SEPARATE EVENTS:

I. TUTORIAL: 15 September 2018.
The Introduction to Rayleigh Workshop will introduce new users to running the Rayleigh code.
Limit: 25 participants.

II. DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP: 16-19 September 2018.

The Rayleigh Development Workshop will:
Introduce current users to the parallel design and algorithmic structure of Rayleigh so that they may modify the code effectively.   
Establish collaborations on short-term development tasks.   For example, such tasks might include the design of robust methods for reading in custom reference-state profiles,  implementation of new diagnostic outputs,  development of data visualization pipelines and routines, and improvement of documentation.
Establish work flows for contributing to the repository.
Establish a core-development team that is authorized to approve changes to the code moving forward.  
Establish long-term objectives for the continued development of Rayleigh.
Limit: 20 participants

You can apply to attend ONE or BOTH events.

For full consideration, apply before July 29, 2018
Notification of Acceptance Begins: August 1, 2018
