[hpc-announce] Call for Abstracts: ACM SRC at PACT 2021

[Changhee Jung]

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) is a forum for graduate and
undergraduate students to share their research results, exchange
ideas, and improve their communication skills while competing for
prizes. The SRC consists of three rounds: a) online abstract
submission authored by the student alone, b) poster session at PACT
2021 by authors for selected abstracts and c) presentation at PACT
2021 by authors of the top posters selected by judges at the
conference.

The evaluation of round (1) will focus on the quality of the research
contributions, while rounds (2) and (3) will also consider the quality
of visual and oral presentation. You can find more information on the
ACM Student Research Competition at http://src.acm.org

criteria for selection.
