For the last two year, the seminar series Computation & Data has served as a space for knowledge exchange on topics related to High Performance Computing (HPC). However, participation patterns and logistical challenges have highlighted the need for a fresh approach. Recognizing the potential for improvement, the seminar series is being redesigned with three main objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shifting from Passive to Active Learning<\/strong> Introducing the HPC Caf\u00e9 \u2013 A Space for Collaboration <\/strong> Speaker Engagement and Discussions<\/strong> Reimaging the Seminar Series „Computation & Data“ For the last two year, the seminar series Computation & Data has served as a space for knowledge exchange on topics related to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3033,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-startpage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3033"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1677"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1677\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1679,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1677\/revisions\/1679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Starting in the second quarter of 2025, the format will undergo a transformation to create a more interactive and engaging learning environment.
The seminar series, organized as part of the HPC initiative, has traditionally followed a structured format: two invited speakers present their research on HPC-related topics, followed by a brief Q&A session. Meetings take place once a month and typically attract a small but engaged audience. <\/p>\n<\/div>![\"User](\"https:\/\/www.hsu-hh.de\/hpccp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/877\/2023\/02\/20230203_123204_cropped2-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The new format will move beyond passive knowledge transfer by fostering interactive learning experiences. While expert talks will still be a core element, the goal is to encourage deeper engagement through guided discussions, structured moderation, and interactive elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A major innovation is the introduction of the HPC Caf\u00e9, a dedicated space for informal peer-to-peer learning. This additional hour will provide a structured yet relaxed setting where participants can discuss HPC-related challenges, exchange ideas, and receive support from experienced researchers. The caf\u00e9 format aims to lower barriers for early-career scientists, who may hesitate to present their work in a formal seminar setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each session will now feature only one invited talk instead of two. This change will allow for more indepth discussions. A rotating moderation team from our HPC group will be introduced to ensure that discussions remain structured and engaging while also being available for HPC-related questions. To ensure the success of these changes, a structured evaluation process will be implemented, including participant surveys and feedback loops. The hope is that this transformation will not only revitalize the seminar series but also foster a more connected and collaborative HPC research community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
