ASU Research Computing is co-hosting an OpenACC GPU programming workshop with XSEDE, along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. This workshop will be useful for engineering, math, physics and chemistry majors and others with a technical background.

OpenACC is the accepted standard using compiler directives to allow quick development of GPU capable codes using standard languages and compilers. It has been used with great success to accelerate real applications within very short development periods. This workshop assumes knowledge of either C or Fortran programming. It will have a hands-on component using the Bridges computing platform at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2020
Time: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Location: Biodesign AL 1-10/14

Are you interested in turning your ideas and creations into new products and services? Through staff expertise and training, connections to vital resources and institutional expertise, the ASU Faculty Startup Challenge can help speed the commercialization of your research. 

In 2018, Skysong Innovations, ASU’s technology transfer organization, launched the ASU Faculty Startup Challenge, a startup accelerator designed to form, incubate and launch new spinout companies founded on intellectual property created at ASU.

The startup challenge is open to faculty, researchers and postdoctoral students. 

Up to six startups will be selected by a panel of judges for seed investments from a $125,000 prize pool. To qualify for the competition, inventors must complete a license agreement by June 30.

The Sustainability Solutions Festival will convene the planet’s top sustainability events and organizations for the month of February to discover and explore how we can individually and collectively reimagine our lives and our planet. Check out the schedule of events to find information on the activities happening throughout the month, including conferences, community gatherings and film screenings.

If you are working in competitive intelligence (CI) activities or interested in learning more about this growing area in research development, the Competitive Intelligence Working Group wants you! The CI Working Group seeks to create a network of academic professionals engaged in the field and looks to define how CI works and is perceived in our environment. This group will be connecting with colleagues from other universities to expand our understanding of how research development professionals are working with CI and to share common issues and interests.

ASU Knowledge Enterprise is collaborating with the independent non-profit organization ORCID to launch to ORCID service for ASU faculty and researchers. 

ORCID provides a persistent identifier – an ORCID iD – that distinguishes you from other researchers and creates a mechanism for linking your research outputs and activities to your iD. ORCID is integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions and other research-related services. Registering for an ORCID and affiliating it with ASU is an excellent way for faculty and researchers to uniquely identify their research contributions.

Sign up for your ORCID iD below or contact Phil Tarrant for more information.
