Speaker
Description
The HPC Ecosystems Project (and the SADC CyberInfrastructure Initiative) is responsible for the repurposing and distribution of decommissioned tier-1 HPC systems. A significant part of the project's scope is the training of an HPC System Administrator workforce. This session will bring members of the partner sites together to discuss the general progress of the project, as well as identifying the needs of the community members to assist the Project Leadership in planning engagements and preparing resources for the upcoming year.
The session will include a presentation on a formal evaluation of access to HPC resources for Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs) in South Africa, as well as feedback from partner sites and the HPC Ecosystems community, and discussions on future plans and needs of the community. There will be a group photo at the end of the session.
