ADVANCED IMAGE PROCESSING METHODS
IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
WORKSHOP FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS
August 12-14, 1992
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is conducting a three-day
workshop on "Advanced Image Processing Methods in Electron
Microscopy," August 12-14, 1992. The workshop is funded by a grant
from the Biomedical Research Technology Program of the National
Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health.
This workshop provides a theoretical and practical introduction to
advanced methods in light and electron microscopic structure research
in cellular and molecular biology. It combines lectures by experts
with practical exercises in selected topics. The various aspects
of integrating the PSC's Cray Y-MP8/832 and CM-2 in a modular image
processing system also will be discussed and the use of the
supercomputer for very computer-intensive tasks will be demonstrated.
The workshop will utilize the MDPP image processing systems.
These sessions will be conducted by Drs. Ross Smith and Dean
Hillman of the New York University Medical Center.
Previous supercomputing experience is not necessary. This three-day
workshop will include an optional half-day session on Tuesday, August
11, led by PSC staff members. This optional portion will cover UNICOS
(Cray's version of the AT&T System V Unix operating system) and
ULTRIX (DEC's Unix).
Travel, meals, and hotel accommodations for U.S. academic participants
are supported by the grant. Enrollment is limited to 20 individuals.
The deadline for submission of applications has been extended to
----* June 29, 1992 *----
