CHPC National Meeting 2011
We are pleased to invite you to the Centre for High Performance Computing National Conference to be held from 7 to 9 December 2011 at the CSIR International Convention Centre (ICC) in Pretoria.
Flagship Projects
In the past three years, the CHPC Flagship Project grants have provided the partnership framework to support the development of several noteworthy research projects.
As a result of this fruitful partnership, the projects have made significant progress in fulfilling their research missions.
Current Research projects:
- Computational Space Physics and Astrophysics
- Large-scale simulations of energy storage materials
- Regional Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Modelling / Environmental and Geographical Science
- A South African High Performance Multi-physics Computational Fluid Dynamics Solver
- Electromagnetic Computer Simulation for the MeerKAT and SKA
- Modelling HIV-1 evolution
- Modern South African Astronomy and Cosmology: Confronting the Simulated and the Observed Universe
- Monte Carlo simulations of technological tools for quantum information processing and communication
- Nuclear Collisions and Data Grid for the Physics Community
In 2010, the CHPC intends to leverage the expertise of our computational researchers in addressing a variety of scientific- and socio-economic challenges whose solution can be advanced with the utilisation of innovative HPC solutions. Considering that the nature of these grand challenges can be highly intricate, their solutions may require a multifaceted range of expertise which may well be dispersed over different niche research groups within the country. Hence the objective of the Consortium Research Project is to provide a leveraging mechanism to harness collaboration between South African-based scientists and promote an exchange of knowledge amongst the members of our HPC communities.
