Welcome to PEARC20! PEARC20’s theme is “Catch the Wave.” This year’s theme embodies the spirit of the community’s drive to stay on pace and in front of all the new waves in technology, analytics, and a globally connected and diverse workforce. We look forward to this year’s PEARC20 virtual meeting, where we can share scientific discovery and craft the future infrastructure.
The conference will be held in Pacific Time (PT) and the times listed below are in Pacific Time.
The connection information for all PEARC20 workshops, tutorials, plenaries, track presentations, BOFs, Posters, Visualization Showcase, and other affiliated events, are in the PEARC20 virtual conference platform, Brella. If you have issues joining Brella, please email pearcinfo@googlegroups.com.
All are welcome! The Campus Research Computing Consortium (CaRCC) invites all to discuss and provide feedback on the CaRCC roadmap, and in particular to provide the community's initial conceptualization for possible models of sustainability and collaboration for the future of CaRCC and related or alternative communities as we move to support, advocate for, and enhance research computing and data, research IT, or research cyberinfrastructure on our campuses, in our regions and in the nation. CaRCC - the Campus Research Computing Consortium - is an organization of dedicated professionals developing, advocating for, and advancing campus research computing and data and associated professions. Through various working groups and based on community input via the 2017 stakeholder survey, members of the CaRCC community have developed a robust structure to connect professionals in the field, referred to as the People Network with tracks for researcher-facing, system-facing, and data-facing professionals, and one for emerging centers; a research computing and data job families guide; a document articulating the value propositions for campus research computing; brought together representatives from many communities of CI professionals in an ecosystem awareness workshop; and in collaboration with Internet2 and EDUCAUSE continue the development of a campus research computing and data capabilities model. CaRCC's origins are in the NSF award OAC-1620695 "RCN: Advancing Research and Education through a national network of campus research computing infrastructures - The CaRC Consortium." For this meeting we welcome all who are interested in helping formulate future directions of CaRCC-facilitated (or potentially other community's-facilitated) activities to serve the broader campus research computing community and ways to sustain those activities beyond the current NSF grant funding. Following this discussion at PEARC20, interested participants will be encouraged to join in further activities to refine and implement the ideas generated. If you are interested in participating in this but cannot make the meeting, please write to info@carcc.org For more information about CaRCC please visit https://carcc.org/
