Space is still available for the workshop "Using the Neuroscience Gateway Portal for Parallel Simulations" which will be held from 9 AM to Noon on Saturday, November 15, 2014, at a location near the convention center in downtown Washington DC. The Portal is an NSF-supported resource that provides computational neuroscientists free and convenient access to parallel supercomputers for large modeling projects. Speakers will include A. Majumdar, S. Sivagnanam, Upi Bhalla, and Ruben Tikidzhi-Khamburyan. Only a few seats remain available, and the registration deadline is Friday, October 31, so you'll have to act quickly.
