When you think of Arizona, what are the most powerful words that come to mind?

What words encapsulate Arizona’s history of pioneering innovation, discovery, and resiliency? That demonstrates the ability of science and technology to drive positive change in a powerful and impactful way?   

If you have the answer, you have the chance to name Arizona State University’s new multi-million-dollar research Supercomputer that is slated to come online in early 2022. The name should convey all that makes Arizona a national standout, that differentiates us from other parts of the country and articulates the grit, the spirit, and the attitude that make the Grand Canyon State a phenomenal place to live, learn and thrive. 

Naming contest details:

Request: Prefer one-word entries but will consider two and three-word phrases. Submissions must be thoughtful, tactful and culturally sensitive to be considered.  

Submission: Submit your recommended name HERE by close of day Tuesday, November 16, 2021. (limit one submission per person)

Selection: ASU Research Computing’s governance board will make the final selection from submitted recommendations.

Winner: A winner will be announced and notified by the first week of December. This lucky person will receive bragging rights and a Dell Technologies laptop!

Reaxys is a powerful web-based tool designed to retrieve chemistry data and citations from patents, journals, and books. The interface is accessible and user-friendly, allowing researchers to easily query and filter chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology data. 

Reaxsys is currently available to all ASU researchers and students. For a general how-to guide and to access Rexays visit https://myapps.asu.edu/app/reaxys. For general information about the Reaxsys tool, visit https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/reaxys. 

ASU Research Computing maintains an institutionally-supported advanced computing system that enables ASU researchers to pursue large-scale discovery. The increased speed and scale of these resources have made this processing power more accessible and easy to use.

In early August 2021, Research Computing held our first annual Expo, a week-long virtual event open to all students, staff, and faculty across all disciplines. The Expo included an in-depth learning experience in advanced computing literacy for the ASU research community. The Expo was well-received by the ASU community, boasting almost 200 unique attendees over the whole week. A full schedule of the Expo workshops and recordings can be found here.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions on what you would like to see next year (rtshelp@asu.edu) and invite you to join us at the 2022 Research Computing Expo! 

Research software engineers from across ASU (Research Computing, School of Complex Adaptive Systems, the Library, etc.) are holding Code and Coffee sessions for anyone who needs help with a coding-related problem or who just wants to chat about technology.

It doesn’t matter how much experience you have! For information or to register for the next session, visit the RSE Code and Coffee site.
