Criteria

We're looking for posters that show what you are doing with our resources and how CHTC fits into your work!

  • Project scope. What is the big research question you're trying to answer?
  • Progress. What have you learned so far?
  • Future work. What do you plan to investigate next? What can you do if we give you more compute?
  • Scale. How much work can you get done with CHTC resources (CPU hours, number of simulations)?
  • Automation and workflows. How did you automate your work? What strategies do you use to create your workflow?
  • Feedback. What worked for you? What didn't work for you?
