SoHPC Awards Ceremony December 15th

The PRACE Summer of HPC (SoHPC) Awards Ceremony will take place on December 15th 2015 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), home of the stunning MareNostrum Supercomputer.

Two SoHPC participants will be honoured for their exceptional contribution to the Summer of HPC. One in the category of Best Visualisation, where the participant who produced the best visualisation will be awarded and the other in the category of PRACE HPC Ambassador, where the participant who best embodied the outreach spirit of the programme will be awarded.

The awards were adjudicated by a distinguished PRACE panel comprised of PRACE Board of Directors, PRACE Project Management Office, PRACE Management Board and PRACE SoHPC team representatives.

The awards ceremony will feature opening and closing remarks from Dr. Oriol Pineda, member of the PRACE board of Directors, presentations by the two award winning students and remarks from Leon Kos, SoHPC coordinator.
