KDT Spring Mind Meld
March 5-9, 2012
University of California, Santa Barbara
Sponsors: Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, UCSB Combinatorial Scientific Computing Laboratory
. . .
Workshop Goals
KDT is the Knowledge Discovery Toolkit,
an open-source high-performance graph analysis software project with contributors
from organizations including
UC Santa Barbara, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, Cray, Intel, and Microsoft.
Following the tradition of our earlier meetings (UCSB Oct 2010, UCSB Mar 2011,
Berkeley Sep 2011), during the KDT Mind Meld we will try to make
significant progress both in project planning and in getting our stuff
to actually work together.
Status reports and general planning will take place at the beginning of the week.
Students and implementers are urged to
stay on for as much as possible of a full week of code development and sharing.
Financial support is available for student attendees.
