About this event
What happens on the day
A short briefing on the national supercomputing pathway: allocation rounds, what reviewers look for, and the fast-track options CIDS can help prepare.
The recurring answer on the day was that most projects need a profiling session before they need an allocation. CIDS runs those on request.
