RCC Director Prof. David Abramson gave a presentation on UQ’s eResearch infrastructure for data-intensive science at an IBM high performance computing event on Tuesday, 12 April in Canberra.
IBM billed the full-day briefing as “an unparalleled ensemble of scientists, engineers, researchers, programmers and system administrators… [with] an exceptional program of deep dives and lightning talks from IBM, industry and the research ecosystem. The agenda will answer questions around the new cognitive era and how it applies to HPC as well as new outcomes and roadmaps from the life, physical and earth sciences.”
The event material also stated: “IBM is delivering innovation for HPC as interest in cognitive converges with hybrid systems. Our clients will share the outcomes they have achieved from leveraging HPC technology and our partners will demonstrate how they are building and evolving the HPC ecosystem.”
“High performance computing has transformed our lives. From nano-materials to SKA, from medical treatments to disaster preparedness; the HPC community is improving our world in multi-faceted ways.”
