Thursday, April 13, 2023 8:00 AM – 2 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, Rooms 1116 East/West
Georgia Tech’s Scientific Software Engineering Center is a new effort that is focused on supporting research software and sharing best practices for research software development and deployment. To bring together the Georgia Tech community that has potential synergies with the Center, we hosted our first SSE workshop on April 13th, from 8 AM to 2 PM, in Klaus 1116 E/W.
In general, the workshop provided a collaborative environment for researchers to share their current challenges and needs with respect to research software engineering. We invited researchers from the Georgia tech community to give short talks about their current research as well as opportunities for improvement for their research software (e.g., software improvements to speed up simulations or enhancements to your process to make your code easier to use and maintain). These presentations and the subsequent discussion will enable the SSE center to better support the Georgia Tech community and to plan future training sessions on topics such as software testing, deployment, and acceleration.
