Underworld
a long term geodynamics simulation platform
Underworld Grid Workshop 2009
A free Underworld Grid Workshop was held at Monash University Caulfield Campus on Wednesday 10 June. This half-day workshop introduced potential, new and current users of Underworld to submitting Underworld models to computer clusters across the ARCS Grid, using the Grid submission client Grisu graphical user interface. Participants learnt how to submit existing Underworld model files to a computer cluster, using a select range of Underworld's modelling capabilities, and view and retrieve their results. Participants were NOT required to install Underworld on their laptop prior to or during the workshop. Prior experience with using Underworld, command-lines or computer clusters was NOT required.
