Programming Competition

The dedicated programming support competition provides support for computational projects of exceptional potential that will have lasting impact and value and that require significant support from SHARCNET to proceed. A central goal is to enable projects from disciplines that are traditionally not major users of HPC. Applications will also be entertained from established HPC disciplines particularly if the intent is to develop and introduce new packages, techniques or algorithms that are substantively different than those extant in the field. Applications from teams of faculty, especially if these are inter-disciplinary and/or inter-institutional, are especially encouraged.

Programme Objectives

  • To enable key research projects with the potential for exceptional and lasting impact that require significant programming support to proceed; and
  • To facilitate optimal exploitation of SHARCNET's or the Digital Research Alliance of Canada’s (the Alliance) computing infrastructure for internationally leading research.

Open Rounds

In anticipation of a Round XXVI Competition to be launched in early 2026, SHARCNET is seeking Expressions of Interest which are due by December 14, 2025 at 11:59 pm EST. Please refer to the last set of guidelines for more information on the Dedicated Programming Competition.

Questions should be addressed to research-support@sharcnet.ca.
