NCSA has long supported women in High-Performance Computing (HPC). To that end, the Center served as an academic sponsor of the annual Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) in Orlando and sent team members from several areas to this year’s conference.
Named after famed computer scientist Grace Hopper and organized by the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, GHC was created in 1994 by and for women computer scientists. What started small eventually grew, with thousands attending each year. Workshops, career sessions and speakers fill the schedule, all focused on promoting and celebrating women in computing. This year’s NCSA representatives were tasked with bringing back ideas and inspiration on how to better support women in HPC.
