Description
The HPC Ecosystems Project is continuing to support HPC deployment initiatives throughout Africa, with two new partner sites receiving their first HPC systems in 2018. Additionally, the Ecosystems Project continues to deliver educational content and training to address workforce preparation for both new users and seasoned professionals.
Although the CHPC is responsible for the leadership and oversight of the Project, the success of the Project greatly depends on the broader HPC Ecosystems community’s engagements and collaboration.
This CHPC-coordinated BoF will engage all stakeholders in helping to determine the roadmap for 2019 (and beyond). Particular focus will be given to discussing the following points:
- feedback from partner sites
- challenges faced by partner sites
- HPC Ecosystems software stack
- determining the training needs of the HPC Ecosystems community,
- possible future opportunities for collaboration, research and hardware acquisition
