Initial Survey Report
The report presents and gives the initial evaluation of the survey results. It is planned to later include an overall report for the region identifying socio-economic factors influencing HPC, strengths and weaknesses of the HPC sectors and ICT R&D, as well as a benchmark of ICT R&D policies with the EU and USA.
Abstract
As part of RISC project, one of the objectives is to formulate and implement round…
Mapping and Research clustering
Based on the work done by previous ICT projects in the region and benefiting from the updated data provided by the project partners, the survey and recent IDC studies done for USA and EU in HPC area, a set of strategic research areas and clusters have been identified. The document presents an initial analysis on how these clusters may align with EU strategic research areas . This exercise will pave…
Training Materials
The Risc project is now sharing the first training materials from the Summer / Winter School in Buenos Aires, Argentina that took place from the 25th of July until 3rd of August 2012. It attracted 80+ representatives from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile. Participants were: academics and researchers in HPC and Computational Science, HPC managers and administrators. There were 2 keynotes and 9 contributed talks. Moreover, there were three keynotes and nine…
