March 5 — This year is shaping up to be an exciting time for the WHPC community, with a year packed full of events, the first few of which are detailed below.
Women in HPC at ISC High Performance 2015
Women in HPC are delighted to announce that we will be running a half day workshop at ISC15 in Frankfurt, Germany in July. Following the success of our workshop at Supercomputing 2014 we will once again be inviting submissions from early career women who would like to present their work in the field of HPC. The call for abstracts will open on 1 April 2015. For more details on workshop please visit the workshop page.
A Hands on Introduction to HPC
In collaboration with the PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATC), the UK National Supercomputing Facility, ARCHER, and the PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference 2015 (PRACEDays15) we will be running a 1.5 day ‘Hands on Introduction to HPC’ training session. This course provides a general introduction to High Performance Computing (HPC) using the UK national HPC service, ARCHER, as the platform for exercises. Familiarity with desktop computers is presumed but no programming or HPC experience is required. Programmers can however gain extra benefit from the course as source code for all the practicals will be provided. This event is open to everyone interested in using HPC, but all our training staff will be women and we hope that this provides an opportunity for women to network and build collaborations as well as learning new skills for a challenging and rewarding career in HPC. The event will take place from May 25-26, 2016, in Dublin, Ireland.
Places are limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.
The International Summer School in HPC: 21-26 June 2015
Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States are invited to apply for the sixth International Summer School on HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences. The expense-paid program will benefit advanced scholars from Canadian, European, Japanese and U.S. institutions who use HPC to conduct research. Meals, housing, and travel will be covered for the selected participants.
Application deadline: 11 March 2015
