Today's interview is with Dr. Daniel Gruner of SciNet.

Tell us a bit about your organization and its goals.

SciNet is a High Performance Computing (HPC) consortium. We provide hardware and software platforms for researchers who require HPC in their work. We are also enabling this research, in ways that had not even been thought of before. The enabling is partly due to us having the largest systems in Canada, and partly by helping people port their codes to run on these very large systems.

After a lot of hard work from Dominique and Jon, we're kicking off warmup tutorials for Software Carpentry this week. 65 students from Psychology, Linguistics, Chemical Engineering, and a couple of other departments will get three weeks of review on basic programming, then start the regular material in January. Our thanks to MITACS, the MathWorks, SciNet, and DCS for their support.
