Dear Colleagues, We are proud to officially announce the upcoming 2014 yt developer workshop. This three day event, to be held on the campus of the University of California, Santa Cruz on Sunday March 23rd through Tuesday March 25th, will bring together a diverse group of students, researchers, and developers. While past workshops have been broad in scope, this workshop will be focused on advancing the goals of yt 3.0 in tandem with the goals of the AGORA project. The four primary goals of this workshop will be to advance the state of the code for: * GPU-based rendering, integrating the PyRGBA toolkit developed at UCSC * Improve scalability of particle and octree datasets in yt * Streamline and optimize SPH smoothing kernel implementations * Integrate more tightly with halo finders and develop an API for SAM interop Through UC-HIPACC we are able to offer attendance funding for participants, including travel and lodging. Funds will be preferentially distributed to students and the level of individual support will depend on demand. If you are interested in attending, please fill out this very short form, and we will be in touch shortly with more details: http://goo.gl/ZDfFvI If you have questions or concerns about the workshop, please feel free to contact the organizers at workshop2014@yt-project.org. On behalf of the organizing committee, Matthew Turk Miguel Rocha Alex Bogert
