XSEDE Single Slide Reposit ory – f or staff, by staff
What is this for?  
  • Do you have a presentation slide you'd like others to include in their presentation(s)? If so, please provide a single slide that anyone could include in their presentation deck. You could upload several single slides, e.g. one for the program in general, another for a specific subset of your topic; a person may want to use one, the other, or both... What would you like others to say/show about your team or project area?
  • Do you want to include information about another part of XSEDE in your presentation? If it’s not already in the repository, please ask the person to share it with you *and* with the repository and help someone else who may be looking for the same material.
Where is the repository?
  1. Go to the XSEDE wiki: https://confluence.xsede.org/
  2. Click on File lists from the left column
  3. Select Single Slide Repository or use the direct link: https://confluence.xsede.org/display/XT/Single+Slide+Repository
How can I add a slide?
  1. Make a single pptx slide 
  2. Put it in the newest XSEDE format; use the 16x9 PPT template from this page: https://confluence.xsede.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1671288
  3. Go into edit mode on the Single Slide Repository page, and drag the slide over, then fill out the form. Then click on the paperclip to edit.
Meet the Campus Champions!


Did you know that the Campus Champions program, which was started by XSEDE, has grown to over 530 Champions at over 270 institutions?

We recently heard from nine different Champions, both old and new, about what they value the most about the Campus Champions program.

XSEDE promotional materials


Are you looking to help people learn about XSEDE and share what we offer? Perhaps you're attending an event, or your institution has materials sitting out for display, or you're a Campus Champion looking to tell people on your campus about what we offer.

If any of the above sound like you, you can request XSEDE materials (such as our Highlights book, a general About XSEDE flyer, or specific offerings like ECSS or CRI) at any time via this form https://forms.gle/YgSF9WN8sHqcXnjVA or by emailing XSEDE's External Relations team at er@xsede.org .

Last call for AIDR 2019
Supported by the NSF scientific data reuse initiative, AIDR (Artificial Intelligence for Data Discovery and Reuse) 2019 is a conference aiming to find innovative solutions to accelerate the dissemination and reuse of scientific data in the data revolution.

AIDR is organized by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and the Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, and will be hosted at Carnegie Mellon May 13 - May 15, 2019. Registration will remain open until May 15.

Gateways 2019 CFP extension: abstracts due May 6, full submissions due May 15

There will be no further extensions of these deadlines.

Gateways 2019 (September 23-25 in San Diego, CA, co-located with the eScience conference) is accepting submissions of papers, demos, tutorials, and panels on the topic of science or engineering gateways.

Topics may include their design, use, impact, development processes, sustainability, best practices, or any other aspect that you think fellow gateway creators or users will find interesting to learn. We also welcome educational topics directed toward the next generation of gateway creators.

The  poster session deadline  (open to all) is Thursday, August 15.

Full submission details  can be found at  https://sciencegateways.org/gateways2019/call .
PEARC19 accepting submissions for posters, visualizations, and BoFs
PEARC19 is now accepting  Poster, Student Poster, and BoF  submissions through  May 1 .

Visualization submissions will be accepted through May 8.

Proposals for  special events  will still be accepted through  June 5  and will be accommodated as time and space allow.

Presentations may address any topic related to advanced research computing, but topics consistent with one or more of PEARC19's technical tracks are of particular interest.

Stay tuned as conference registration will open soon!

Apply by April 30 for the TACC Institute: Advanced Computing Foundations Webinar
TACC Institute: Advanced Computing Foundations Webinar
May 7-8, 2019

This two-day webcast will teach foundational knowledge and cutting-edge topics in advanced computing. Topics include: Introduction to Linux, Introduction to Python, Introduction to R, Understanding the Cloud, Understanding Parallel Computing. This workshop acts as a stepping stone toward building the required knowledge base used in TACC's other Institutes. Registration closes April 30.

Apply by May 3 for SDSC's Annual High Performance Computing and Data Science Summer Institute
SDSC's annual Summer Institute will take place August 5-9, 2019 at SDSC. This event is a week-long workshop focused on a broad spectrum of introductory-to-intermediate topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Science. The Institute welcomes researchers from academia and industry, especially in domains not traditionally engaged in supercomputing, or who have problems that cannot typically be solved using local computing resources. See applications details and scholarship support.
