ASU Research Computing is hosting a free, hands-on XSEDE Big Data workshop Dec. 4–5, for faculty, staff and students who wish to work to leverage this modality of high-performance computing within your research. 

Attendees of the XSEDE Big Data workshop will leave with a working knowledge of how to leverage Apache’s Hadoop or Spark frameworks to process and store extremely large data sets that could run on either XSEDE’s and/or ASU’s High-Performance Computing environments.

 

Unnatural Disasters: Writing Sci-Fi and Cli-Fi in a Changing World with Malik Toms

We sit on the edge of possibility. From Roddenberry’s sliding doors and tablet PCs to Atwood’s dystopian floods, our stories point the way to possible futures. This is a class about writing those futures. Participants will explore the basic elements of creating strong fiction and learn how to weave those elements into the extraordinary worlds we carve out of fringe science and the environmental issues shaping our tomorrows.
