Supporting regional conversations and arming CI professionals with tools to address emerging issues.
关于我们
The technical focus of our proposed consortium is on data. Data plays an ever larger role in computational science. Artificial intelligence, edge networks, and computational analysis on data with sensitivities are among just a small number of issues that are relevant and present in present-day scientific and scholarly research . Traditional HPC centers have a compute-first view of serving research, a model which is increasingly being called on for expansion. The consortium’s existence is to support regional conversations of relevance and arm CI professionals with tools to address emerging issues. We onboard organizations that align with our mission, share information transparently, and provide opportunities for professional growth and leadership. While identity is a social process and all forms of identity can be fluid, regional identity is implicit in geography. Regional identity stems from harmony between its inhabitants and indicates unity and social integration within a geographic area. One’s identity as a member of a region can contribute to greater forms of communication, willingness to share, and trust as members share a sense of place. The strong regional identity of academic institutions in the US Midwest states, and through place-based identity, achieve greater forms of transparency and shared mission in support of the CI professional. We used the rule of “one day driving distance.” to define the regional bounds of the Midwest RCD, therefore, our regional focus is to match the Great Lakes region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.) We welcome CI professionals from greater distances and have attendees from Iowa and Missouri as well as Tennessee at our meetings.

Good news from a Midwest Research Computing and Data consortium institution! Congratulations to Purdue's Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC) and thanks to National Science Foundation (NSF)’s NAIRR program.
Researchers nationwide can now request access to the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing’s (RCAC) new national artificial intelligence (AI) resource, Anvil AI. Purdue University's powerful national HPC-resource, the Anvil supercomputer, recently received an upgrade, thanks to support from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) NAIRR Pilot Program. This hardware upgrade added a total of 84 Nvidia H100 SXM GPUs to the system. Along with the GPUs, Anvil AI also features 1 petabyte of object storage, which can host datasets needed by AI researchers. Now that the hardware has been successfully installed and tested, “Anvil AI” is available for allocation requests through the NAIRR Pilot. https://lnkd.in/gRuKXi9T

Thanks for the reminder, Karen Catlin! Our tip number 3 for Creating an Inclusive Work Environment shares this sentiment! https://lnkd.in/gpckY2Yt Thanks to Maureen Biggers for doing the research and giving a talk that led to these inclusivity tips!
Recently, I was coaching a client about developing her personal brand. She found it challenging to identify what makes her stand out. What are the things she does consistently to add value to her organization? What things might a potential sponsor notice and use to connect her with career-growing opportunities? She wasn’t sure. So I asked, “What do others say about you?” I encouraged her to think about a recent performance review or kudos she’d received from her peers. This approach seemed to help, as she quickly listed a handful of qualities that others praised her for. The next day, this quote popped up in my social media feed: “Never admire quietly. If I admire something about someone, I tell them. We humans are so fragile. It’s important we give people their flowers while they are still here.” - Chimamanda Adichie, an award-winning Nigerian author, feminist and philosopher. It’s a perfect mindset for all of us on the journey to be better allies. I’ll add that we shouldn’t just tell the person what we admire about them. We should _also_ sing their praises in conversations with influential coworkers. Let’s all speak about them in the rooms they aren’t yet in. — This is an excerpt from my upcoming “5 Ally Actions” newsletter.
