HTCondor Week is an annual event for people from academia, industry, and government who utilize the Center for High Throughput Computing resources to enhance their research. Over 100 people from around the globe attend, as well as faculty, staff, and grad students from UW-Madison.
The public is invited to attend two lectures on Tuesday, May 21:
- Ice Fishing for Neutrinos: Exploring the mysteries of the cosmos from beneath the South Pole: Francis Halzen, IceCube project PI and HTCondor Week 2019 keynote speaker, tells the incredible story of how IceCube is uncovering some of the cosmos’ most elusive mysteries with a 1km^3 neutrino detector buried deep within the Antarctic ice sheet. IceCube is one of the most prolific and ambitious project out of UW-Madison.
