2010 Program
The 2010 school ran from July 26 - August 13, and hosting it at UCSC allowed synergy with ISIMA, first International Summer Institute for Modeling in Astrophysics (July 5 - Aug 13) on Transport Processes in Astrophysics (see the ISIMA website for more information).
Our 2010 summer school included lectures on all the main codes currently used in high resolution simulations of galaxy formation and evolution: the adaptive mesh refinement codes ART, Enzo, and Ramses; the smooth particle hydro codes GADGET, Arepo and Gasoline/PKDGRAV; and also the Sunrise code for creating images of simulated galaxies in all wavebands including scattering, absorption, and reemission by dust.
Anatoly Klypin (NMSU), who directed the astrocomputing summer school in Potsdam in 2006, was the director, and lectured on dissipationless and hydrodynamical adaptive mesh refinement simulations using his ART code.
The other main lecturers were Mike Norman (UCSD) on Enzo, Romain Teyssier (Saclay/Zurich) on Ramses, T. J. Cox (Carnegie Observatories) on GADGET and Arepo, Fabio Governato and Tom Quinn (UWashington) on Gasoline and PKDGRAV, and Patrik Jonsson (Harvard CfA) on Sunrise. Additional lecturers included Tom Abel (Stanford) Avishai Dekel (HU Jerusalem) and Piero Madau (UCSC).
The format consisted of two main lecture series each week, with most lectures in the morning; most afternoons, students worked on projects supervised by the lecturers. Lecturers were encouraged to bring/provide examples of codes and code outputs so that students had a chance to run examples and work directly with various outputs.
Enrollment was capped at about 60, to allow personal interaction between students and lecturers.
Funding
The 2010 International Summer School on Astro-Computing was sponsored mainly by UC-HIPACC (University of California High-Performance Astro-Computing Center.) Additional funding from NSF supported non-UC participant expenses..

Santa Cruz is home to one of America’s great summer Shakespeare Festivals, which opens July 23 and thus coincides with our workshop. Shakespeare Santa Cruz (SSC) always puts on two Shakespeare plays and
one modern play. The Shakespeare plays are performed outdoors on a stage built in a redwood glen, while the modern play is in our beautiful Performing Arts Theater. This summer the Shakespeare plays are Love’s Labors Lost and Othello, and the modern play is The Lion in Winter.
This festival is famous for making Shakespeare’s language clear and delightful even to those unfamiliar with Elizabethan English who assume they won’t understand a Shakespearean play. You will be amazed how accessible it is. Particularly the comedies, like Love’s Labors Lost, are fine for children over the age of maybe 9 or 10, and there are very cheap tickets for children.
Go early, because you’ll probably want to return and see the other
plays while you’re here.
For information on all the performances and to buy tickets visit
