Dear Colleagues and all users of HPCF,

TL;DR:

(i) Recording available from user meeting Fri 01/26/2024

(ii) Some notes of user meeting.

(iii) send publication info!

(i) We got the HyFlex technology in Webex to work and I recorded the meeting, which lasted just about exactly 1 hour. The recording is available in Panopto at

(ii) We had a great attendance both in-person and online, namely listed below.  I introduced myself, in case anyone did not know, and the two HPCF RAs Mostafa Cham and Ehsan Shakeri, see hpcf.umbc.edu under Contact Us.  We also appreciate that DoIT was represented by several staff, Roy Prouty, Andy Leeds, Todd Haddaway, and Damian Doyle.  My aim was to collect questions and concerns, depending on audience, and provide any information.  Damian Doyle very graciously actually came with two agenda items that essentially covered these goals. First, he provided an overview of the RCA Computing Taskforce from 2023, whose co-chair Zhibo Zhang was also present; the other co-chair was Karuna Joshi.  We thank all of them for their service. The ending point was that the leading VPs for Research Karl Steiner and for IT Jack Suess are in the process of implementing the new governance structure recommended and adopted by the taskforce.  Second, Damian shared that a purchase is intended in very near future, such as even within February; any interested faculty should contact Damian Doyle by e-mail (damian@umbc.edu).

Attendees: Matthias Gobbert, Mostafa Cham, Ehsan Shakeri, Roy Prouty, Damian Doyle, Zhibo Zhang, Tyler Josephson, Daniel Lobo, Joseph Bennett, Enrique Barbosa, Vijay Sharma, Andy Leeds, Todd Haddaway, Curtis Menyuk, Tim Finin, Lei Ren, Akash Vartak, Xuezhi Cang, Dimitry Sushon.

(iii) And please remember again, since it is really the most important, please send me the citation of publications that we can list on the HPCF webpage!

I am a PhD student living in a separate room in a two room apartment. I have another room for sub-let. It has a bed frame and mattress which I am willing to loan to prospective occupant.

The apartment offers shared Bathroom, Kitchen, and Living room. The location is off Yale Avenue, within the route of the public transportation and the UMBC Shuttle. 

The sub-lease rent is $600 (includes monthly lease rental, BGE plus internet). In addition, a one -time security deposit of $550 is required to be paid before moving in.

No Pet.  No smoking or drugs. A free parking lot.

I have preference for a male graduate student.

I need someone who is ready to move in immediately (Spring 2024).
