Dear NERSC users, In cooperation with RSI, the vendor who produces IDL, the NERSC Visualization Group is providing a lecture via the Access Grid entitled, "What's New in IDL 6.0". IDL is used for data analysis and visualization. This new version is a major release of the software with many new features. There are significant changes from the current version , 5.6, which is available on Escher, the NERSC Visualization Server as well as Seaborg. We are also working with the vendor to have either a beta or final release version of IDL 6.0 installed on both Escher and Seaborg for your use before the lecture. The availability of IDL 6.0 will be a separate announcement. The lecture is scheduled for June 23, 2003 from 12:30PM - 2PM PDT (Pacific Time), utilizing the Full Sail virtual venue. Time will be provided for Q&A with the vendor's technical representatives. Participation is open to all who are interested. Local users may attend the presentation located in the LBL Access Grid room in Building 50B, Room 1211. Please reference: http://agschedule.ncsa.uiuc.edu/meetingdetails.asp?MID=1558 for any other information. Please contact me directly if you have any additional questions regarding evaluating IDL 6.0 on either Escher or Seaborg.
