In 2022, the PRACE Summer of HPC (SoHPC) was held for the tenth time. The 2022 edition was a hybrid manner, with some participants engaging on their projects online and others on-site. The Training Week, which kicks off SoHPC, was virtually.Afterwards, the students from all scientific disciplines spent eight weeks studying and working on a dedicated HPC project. They were supported and mentored by a tutor from one of the PRACE HPC Centres.
Besides allowing students to work on research projects in a multidisciplinary and international environment, the SoHPC programme aims to promote and disseminate scientific culture among the upcoming generation of researchers, ensuring that students participating in the project will be the computational scientists of tomorrow.
Furthermore, the students shared their experience in blog posts and video presentations and became ambassadors of High-Performance Computing at their respective institutions.
These two exceptional students will receive their awards for their hard work and dedication to the Summer of HPC Programme.
PRACE Summer of HPC 2022 Award Ceremony
The PRACE Summer of HPC 2022 Award Ceremony will take place at the EuroHPC Summit on Thursday 23 March 2023.
The following two awards will be presented to the winners.
PRACE Summer of HPC 2022 Best Performance Award – Sara Sandh
Sara was awarded the Best Performance Award for her hard and exceptional work on “Project 2209: Implementation of an advanced STAbility condition of explicit high-order Spectral Element Method for Elastoacoustics in Heterogeneous media”.
Her SoHPC colleagues clearly deemed Sara as most deserving for this award, for exhibiting committed effort to her project, working hard to fulfil its requirements and working autonomously to fulfil the project beyond its initial requirements.

PRACE Summer of HPC 2022 HPC Ambassador Award - Gabriel Chaves Cathoud Pinheiro
Gabriel was awarded the HPC Ambassador Award for his work and community engagement on “Project 2203: Neural networks in chemistry – search for potential drugs for COVID-19 “.#
Gabriel was very active in his blogging, engaging with people that commented on his posts and was highly voted as the winner of this award by his SoHPC colleagues.
Along with his project partner, he also worked hard on his final presentation – creating an appealing animation video, to describe their work on the project.
