Dr. Chuck Pavloski, R&D engineer for earth sciences at the Institute for CyberScience (ICS), will offer a seminar entitled "Big Decision: Choosing Your HPC Resources Wisely" to the Penn State research community.
The seminar will help researchers who need to use high-performance computing (HPC) choose the best HPC resources to fit their needs. Choosing the right system for any given research project can be challenging, since researchers face a wide array of options, including Penn State's Advanced CyberInfrastructure (ICS-ACI) and external supercomputing systems such as the Texas Advanced Computing Center's Stampede and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges. Many external HPC systems are part of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), a partnership of supercomputing resources across the US.
