| Dear NERSC Users,
NERSC will offer a series of presentations highlighting Bassi, the IBM
POWER 5 p575 system on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 . Online participation is
available via a web conference, RealVideo streaming, and a
teleconference. A web conference consists of a telephone conference, a
web-based tool that controls slide display, and a text-based chat window.
Please register by Wednesday, June 7 to reserve a spot. We must make
advance arrangements to accommodate more than 20 remote attendees. NERSC
is charged per connection, so we ask that remote participants from a
single site gather in one location and use only a single connection if
possible.
Please register at the following URL (The sessions are being held in
conjunction with the NERSC Users' Group Meeting at Princeton Plasma
Physics Laboratory):
https://www.nersc.gov/about/NUG/meeting_info/June06/reg_form.php
To register for the training day only, chose "Days: Tue., June 13
(Training)" and "I will attend: Remotely: "
