About

Since 2017, the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC), a division within Purdue IT, has been at the forefront of spearheading the Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) campus organization. The Women in HPC (WHPC) program, part of a RCAC broader engagement initiative, is a group of Purdue University undergraduate, graduate, staff, and faculty men and women interested in exposing women to High Performance Computing (HPC) and encouraging their pursuit of research and careers in HPC and technology fields. The primary objective of WHPC is to foster exposure and empowerment among women in the Purdue academic community, encouraging their active pursuit of research and professional pathways within the realms of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and technology.
