Downtime away from work is increasingly important in today’s fast-paced world, so for those of you celebrating Christmas this month, we hope you have a great, and well-deserved break from work. For everyone else, we’d love to hear what goes on at this time of year for you too, and what time of year your important downtime takes place.

Intel Named First WHPC Corporate Champion

We are delighted to announce that the Intel Corporation is WHPC’s very first Corporate Champion. The Corporate Champions programme aims to build the foundation for sustainable WHPC programs and provides support for our mission.

“Intel understands the importance of diversity and inclusion in the development of high performance computing solutions,” said Trish Damkroger, Vice President and General Manager, Intel’s Data Center Group. “Since WHPC’s inception, Intel has actively supported the organization’s goals and has partnered with the HPC ecosystem to increase participation of under-represented groups — women and those with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds — in computational and data science programs.”

WHPC@SC18: A Roundup

WHPC had such an amazing week at SC, so full of incredible connections and inspirational women! Some of the highlights include:

• The traditional Women in HPC Workshop and evening reception: these popular events continue to grow beyond what we could have dreamed of when Women in HPC was formed!

• Our first BoF on the importance of male allies: delivered to a room packed full of not only women but also men, definitely something we’d like to repeat!

• Our first face-to-face WHPC Chapters Committee meeting: advancing our Chapters program and building grassroots activities targeted at the needs of local HPC communities.

As our membership continues to grow, we hope that you encourage your colleagues to join, too! All genders are welcome in WHPC — men belong in the conversation and have an essential role in eliciting positive changes.
