The Ontario government is investing $48 million over two years to support ground-breaking work at leading research institutes and universities across the province. This funding was announced in the 2021 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review: Build Ontario on November 4 and will help put Ontario at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that research and research infrastructure continues to be competitive to attract the best and brightest talent to the province. Details were by Jill Dunlop, Minister of Colleges and Universities at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario. “Ontario is committed to supporting trailblazing work that will help ensure the province remains a leader in advanced science, technology and innovation, and is a jurisdiction of choice for scientific research,” said Minister Dunlop. “With this investment, the province will be in a better position to attract, develop and retain talented researchers so we can continue making major advances and solving the complex problems facing us today, right here in Ontario.” …more |

The Compute Canada Federation invites researchers to apply to its annual Resource Allocation Competitions (RAC). These competitions give researchers the opportunity to have access to more compute, storage and cloud resources. Applications submitted are evaluated for both technical feasibility and scientific excellence. Proposals to the Resources for Research Groups (RRG) and the Research Platforms and Portals (RPP) competitions must be submitted electronically through the Compute Canada DataBase (CCDB) by Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 11:59 PM (EST). To be eligible to submit an application to any of the Resource Allocation Competitions, Principal Investigators (PI) and co-PIs must be a faculty member at a Canadian academic institution, and have an active Compute Canada account with an Academic PI role (Faculty, Adjunct Faculty or Librarian). Q&A sessions are planned as follows: English: September 29th, noon-1:30 pm (EST) register |

Registration is now open for our annual SHARCNET Summer School on Advanced Research Computing. The school is an annual educational event for graduate/undergraduate students, postdocs and researchers who are engaged in compute-intensive research. These schools are free and provide beginner-to-intermediate level courses on a wide range of subjects, from traditional high performance computing (MPI, CUDA) to data science, machine learning, and popular languages (Python, R etc.); they also include domain-specific courses. In the past, this event was run in person (five days, three parallel streams) on one of SHARCNET’s campuses, but this year it will run entirely online (same as last year), due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will start on May 25 as a single stream event and will run until Canada Day.
Programme
Summer School RegistrationParticipants need to register to attend SHARCNET Summer School. Registration is per-course, with no limits on the number of courses.
