In addition to leading-edge research, high-performance networking and cyberinfrastructure more generally enable new modes of collaboration and education. This demonstration will highlight how dynamic circuit networking and HD videoconferencing technologies can work together to support international learning. Dr. Thomas Sterling of Louisiana State University and Charlie McMahon of the Louisiana Optical Networking Initiative will lead a discussion with colleagues at Masryk University in the Czech Republic about how they used HD videoconferencing in Sterling's class, “Introduction to High-Performance Computing."
