Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) staff are proud to announce the successful delivery of the first production IQ-Tilt to the Innovation Center (IC) on the IUB campus. This IQ-Tilt was fully assembled at the AVL's R&D facilities on the Indianapolis campus and will be installed in the lobby of the IC. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the research and analytic needs of the many PTI researchers and staff that work in the building but will also serve as an engaging point of interest for building visitors.

The HPC Educators Program focuses on undergraduate educators and SC attendees interested in integrating HPC and computational and data-enabled science and engineering into classrooms. It also engages government and industry with the HPC educator community and provides a forum to share best practices.

SC13 continues the tradition of offering a high-quality education program, providing interested attendees with the opportunity to learn from and interact with internationally recognized experts who teach undergraduate and early career students in all areas of computational science and engineering, computer science and engineering, high performance computing, networking and storage. HPC Educators Program sessions are focused on teaching these topics to undergraduate students with emphasis on curriculum development and pedagogy and on best teaching practices of interest to undergraduate HPC educators and general SC attendees.

At SC12, the LittleFe Buildout was integrated into the HPC Educators program as a one-day activity. The plan for SC13 is to conduct the LittleFe Buildout as a multiple-day activity.

LittleFe Buildout applications will be accepted May 1 - June 6 at the SC13 submission site:
