The competition is designed to increase cross-unit and cross-disciplinary collaboration in strategic areas that have a strong possibility for success in building on UH Mānoa’s strengths while addressing challenges.
Three UH Mānoa professors used Mana, the UH high performance computing cluster, to engage graduate students in computational science and equip them with advanced computing skills.
The award allows the university to acquire and deploy a new community computer cluster in support of computational and data-intensive research for the 10-campus system.
Ten minutes of student work was submitted, including LAVA's Destiny-Class CyberCANOE 2D and 3D character animation scene assignments and animated short films.
Students from the Department of Information and Computer Science (ICS) won the Hawaiʻi Annual Code Challenge, earning themselves more than $4,000 in prize money.
UH Mānoa researchers received a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant to evaluate a new approach to improving engagement, diversity and retention in undergraduate computer science education.
