The National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics - OGS provides few scholarships in the frame of the PNRR project TeRABIT to support MHPC students interested in a collaboration with the scientific institution. OGS, together with Cineca, runs a training programme in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC) for applications in Earth Sciences, called "HPC Training and Research for Earth Sciences" (HPC-TRES). 

The agreement builds on a long-standing partnership between the two institutions and is closely aligned with major European and national initiatives such as PRACE and the PNRR-funded TeRABIT project. Its primary goal is to strengthen advanced education and capacity building in HPC, with a particular focus on applications in Earth Sciences.

As part of the initiative, OGS commits to providing financial support for up to three students admitted to the Master in High Performance Computing, subject to the identification of suitable candidates through the admission process.This contribution covers both tuition fees and a scholarship to support students throughout the duration of the program. 

Here you can read the proposed projects and here you can send your application.

If you are interested, please apply through "standard application" and send an email to info@mhpc.it explaining which project(s) and why you are interested in working on.

A paper presenting a hands-on course that trains students in the deployment and management of high-performance computing clusters was introduced at the annual User and System Administrator Research Software Event (USRSE) earlier this fall. The paper highlights the growing need for practical skills to support increasing supercomputing demands.

The course, titled High-Performance Computing Technologies (HPCT), was presented by Fernando Posada of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and co-authored by Richard Berger of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It outlines the course design, methodology, and outcomes, focusing on real-world HPC cluster administration.

HPCT is part of a master’s program in high-performance computing taught annually at the International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and provides students with hands-on experience in building, configuring, and maintaining computing clusters used in scientific research.

We are proud to announce that Keshvi Tuteja, a graduate of the Master in High Performance Computing (MHPC), has received the prestigious "Women in HPC Poster Award" at the ISC High Performance 2025 conference, currently taking place in Hamburg, Germany.

Keshvi completed the MHPC programme in April 2024 and is currently pursuing a PhD in Karlsruhe, Germany. Her winning poster stood out for its clarity, scientific value, and contribution to the advancement of high performance computing — a testament to her commitment and talent.

The Women in HPC initiative aims to promote diversity and inclusion in the HPC community by highlighting the outstanding work of women researchers and professionals in the field.

We warmly congratulate Keshvi on this important recognition and wish her all the best in her future research and academic career.
