HPC Workshop 2021

Exploring the power of computational science

Students get first-hand experience in this summer workshop for high-performance computing taught by University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire faculty and staff volunteers. Eight faculty members collaborate with UW-Eau Claire’s Upward Bound program to share techniques used to process large amounts of data and perform complex calculations at high speed. The workshop’s topics range from biology and computer science to chemistry and materials science and biomedical engineering.

With this workshop, we hope to bring HPC and computational sciences to local high school students, potentially attracting bright minds to UW-Eau Claire.
