We ask that all participants prepare an electronic poster for presentation on Monday or Tuesday evening. This is information you will share with your colleagues via your own laptop computer.

 The information may include one or more of the following:

  •  At most 5 PowerPoint slides or web pages that convey your research work.
  • The content would be similar to what you may have traditionally included on a paper poster: abstract of research, people/institutions involved, progress to date, findings, future plans
  • A demo of your research software in action which may include running the model and/or showing a visualization from your project

Remember that most of the attendees are familiar with HPC but not with your domain science, so be prepared to explain your contributions to someone outside your field.

In addition, we ask that you give a lightning talk at the start of your poster session.  These brief talks will help other students get an overview of your work, so that interested students can plan to talk with you in more detail during the poster session.  In preparing your lightning talk, please observe the following guidelines:

  • Your talk should be no more than 1 minute in length.
  • There will be no capability to present slides, so plan to talk without visuals.
  • A good place to start is to summarize your abstract, remembering to emphasize the HPC aspects of your work.
  • Feel free to use a prop if you think it will help you communicate.

You will be assigned a location number and one of the four sessions, either the first half of Monday evening (session 'A'), the second half of Monday ('B'), the first half of Tuesday ('C'), or the second half of Tuesday ('D').  Plan to stand by your electronic poster for about 1 hour on your assigned night.  When not presenting we expect attendees to learn about other participants' work.

There are NO facilities available for paper posters – please DO NOT bring paper posters. We ask that you add your poster information and electronic file to the Student Posters Repository for on-going sharing among all of the participants. Please do this before the poster session if at all possible.
