ACES Second Community Meeting and Workshop

Overview

Please join Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) in Providence for a pre-conference workshop ahead of the Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC24) conference. You’ll learn how the ACES (Accelerating Computing for Emerging Sciences) testbed complements the National Science Foundation’s portfolio of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources and services that are supported through the U.S. taxpayer investment. Participants will meet kindred community members and future collaborators from across the country.

ACES features a menu of accelerators in a hardware composable infrastructure designed to excel with artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) tasks with an Open OnDemand interface that commands a robust and growing software ecosystem. The HPRC advanced user support team will conduct tutorials and present PEARC24 papers that chronicle how ACES tackles data-intensive AI/ML tasks with greater speed, precision and efficiency. Participants from all domains are welcome to deliver lightning talks about their own ACES experience, and share how it has influenced their plans for the future.

Applications from professional staff and research faculty who work at minority-serving institutions of higher learning, demographics that are underrepresented in STEM academics and careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and research domains that are new to advanced CI are especially encouraged to apply. All must provide a brief description of their current research, future plans for ACES engagement and a bio sketch (current NSF format).

Registration waivers and travel support are available for a limited number of U.S.-based applicants. Non-academic industry or government affiliates will be charged a $350 registration fee (to cover meals). If you have questions, or if you’d like to present your research, please contact: 
events [at] hprc.tamu.edu (events[at]hprc[dot]tamu[dot]edu).
