Supporting women to succeed in High Performance Computing

to read

We’re delighted to play a key role in improving diversity and opportunity for women in High Performance Computing (HPC).

Durham is a member of the N8 Centre of Excellence in Computationally Intensive Research (N8 CIR), which has been recognised as a chapter of the Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) organisation.

It will identify and challenge reasons why there are so few women in senior roles in HPC and raise the profile of people from underrepresented groups.

The new WHPC chapter is committed to addressing gender balance within the N8 CIR and improving gender balance at workshops.

It will identify and challenge reasons why there are so few women in senior roles in HPC and raise the profile of people from underrepresented groups.

The N8 CIR will also address wider diversity concerns and support people from minority communities, and those with disabilities, to work and contribute to the HPC community.

Research software engineer (RSE) and N8 CIR RSE theme leader Dr Marion Weinzierl, in Advanced Research Computing, said: “Our group is open to everyone and welcomes contributions and support from all genders and gender identities.”
