<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Dr. Claydon,</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Division of Research and the Texas Learning & Computation Center invites you to attend an open meeting to express your wishes for research support in the area of high performance computing (HPC), visualization, and computationally driven data-intensive science at the University of Houston. Please distribute this invitation to department chairs whose faculty might be affected by decisions ensuing from this important infrastructure planning endeavor so that they may attend as well. The center is closely evaluating its current assets and planning to extend its HPC resources and related services, and we would like your input to help ensure that our efforts closely match faculty research support needs in this area. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Please join us on Monday, September 17 from 2:00-4:00 pm in Philip Guthrie Hoffmann Hall (PGH) 216. You may stop in at any point during the meeting if other commitments conflict with segments of this two-hour time frame. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">If you cannot attend this meeting and would like to provide input, please feel free to communicate your wishes to Information Systems Manager Tony Curtis at <a href="mailto:arcurtis@mail.uh.edu" target="_blank">arcurtis@mail.uh.edu</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to engaging with you and learning more about how the center can contribute technical infrastructure to support the University of Houston mission and goals by providing competitive resources to facilitate your research.</p>
