Session Materials

In this session, the Centre for Advanced Computing (CAC) hosts a webinar designed to delve into the comprehensive range of systems and services offered by the CAC. Designed to support and empower your research, this session will provide a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies, and expert support available at the CAC.

The CAC understands that research can not be served by a one-size-fits-all solution, so they provide a traditional HPC environment, but also offer custom-tailored solutions to fit every research requirement. By the end of this session, you will understand the various systems offered by the CAC, who can use them, and what their purpose is. Additionally, you will leave with a solid understanding of the specialized services offered by the CAC's cognitive development hub and how these resources can be leveraged to tackle complex computational challenges and streamline research processes. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or new to high-performance computing, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to harness the immense potential of supercomputing to amplify your research.

A research outreach and team building opportunity

Science Rendezvous Kingston (SRK) is an annual event hosted by Queen’s Vice-Principal Research Portfolio at the Leon’s Centre. In 2023, we had over 5.3K visitors from Kingston and beyond and 50 interactive booths representing research groups from across Queen’s and local community partners including museums, conservation groups, and secondary schools. Many research groups at Queen’s have been participating in SRK for the past few years and use the event as an opportunity to improve researchers’ and students’ communications and outreach skills. Join this session to learn more about Science Rendezvous and how to join our team of over 430 volunteers to promote your research program.
