Parallelization: Conway's Game of Life This module teaches: 1) Conway's Game of Life as an example of a cellular automaton, 2) how cellular automata are used in solutions to scientific problems, 3) how to implement parallel code for Conway's Game of Life (including versions that use shared memory via OpenMP, distributed memory via the Message Passing Interface (MPI), and hybrid via a combination of OpenMP and MPI), 4) how to measure the performance and scaling of a parallel application in multicore and manycore environments, and 5) how cellular automata fall into the Structured Grid "dwarf" (a class of algorithms that have similar communication and computation patterns). Upon completion of this module, students should be able to: 1) Understand the importance of cellular automata in modeling scientific problems, 2) Design a parallel algorithm and implement it using OpenMP and/or MPI, 3) Measure the scalability of a parallel code over multiple or many cores, and 4) Explain the communication and computation patterns of the Structured Grid dwarf. It is assumed that students will have prerequisite experience with C or Fortran 90, *nix systems, and modular arithmetic. Reviews and Metadata |

Testing the Waters with Undergraduates (If you lead students to HPC, they will drink) For the Blue Waters Undergraduate Petascale Education Program(NSF), we developed two computational science modules,"Biofilms: United They Stand, Divided They Colonize" and"Getting the 'Edge' on the Next Flu Pandemic: We Should'a 'Node'Better." This paper describes the modules and details ourexperiences using them in three courses during the 2009-2010academic year at Wofford College. These courses, from threeprograms, included students from several majors: biology,chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics, andundecided. Each course was evaluated by the students andinstructors, and many of their suggestions have already beenincorporated into the modules. Reviews and Metadata |
Note that the GridShib project has reached the end of it's original life, however some of the software lives on: * The GridShib CA issues certificates based on Shibboleth authentication. The GridShib CA is now supported by the CILogon Project.The following software is used by the TeraGrid Science Gateways program and is supported solely for that purpose. New adoption is not encouraged due to the Globus Project discontinuing development of the Java-based web services. * The GridShib SAML Tools bind SAML V1.1 assertions to RFC 3820 proxy certificates. The SAML Tools are used by the TeraGrid Science Gateways program and supported for that purpose. * GridShib for Globus Toolkit performs SAML-based authorization for Globus Toolkit 4.0 Java-based web services.The following GridShib software is no longer supported: * GridShib for Shibboleth provides software plugins for the Shibboleth 2.0 Identity Provider (IdP) that implement the SAML V2.0 Holder-of-Key Web Browser SSO Profile.

Astronomical Coordinates The celestial coordinate system is a projection of earth's coordinate system into the celestial sphere. Being just like Earth's system it contains an "equator", lines of "latitude" and "longitude", and even poles. (Though we don't use the same words for it.) One suggestion one might have would be to just extend the Earth's latitude, longitude, and equator out into the night sky, but the Earth is constantly spinning. For the Celestial coordinates, we have to pick some fixed reference to go by. Reviews and Metadata |
Diffeq class The Diffeq class is designed to solve for the solution of a system of first order differential equations x'(x,t) = f(x,t). Versions are provided in C++ and Java. Algorithms used include Euler's method, improved Euler's method, and the 4th order Runge Kutta method. Reviews and Metadata |
Coloring Remainders in Pascal's Triangle Color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that have the same remainder when divided by the number rolled, thereby practicing division and remainders, investigating number patterns, and investigating fractal patterns. Coloring Remainders in Pascal's Triangle is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers. Reviews and Metadata |
