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.

This pre-call information session held on April 20, 2023 was for potential applicants to the 2024 NFRF-Transformation competition, which is expected to be launched this spring.

The objective of the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Transformation stream is to support large-scale, Canadian-led interdisciplinary research projects that address a major challenge with the potential to realize real and lasting change. The challenge may be fundamental, leading to a scientific breakthrough, or applied, with a social, economic, environmental or health impact. Projects are expected to be world-leading, drawing on global research expertise, when relevant.
