HPC@SheffieldMonday 8 April 201909.00 - 16.30Firth Hall |
Our annual research IT event, HPC@Sheffield is back. This prestigious event gives you the chance to find out more about national, regional and local projects using Research IT facilities. There will be presentations to show you how researchers benefit from research computing facilities, as well as vendor exhibits and a competition. We will be launching our new HPC facilities, telling you more about the exciting changes it will bring and how our research community will benefit. For the first time we will also be hosting a research software competition as part of the event. This is your chance to develop a research software application which is of general benefit to the research community. There will be £1,000 available for each project reaching the development stage, with a prize of £3,000 for the top project. |
