The second publication in the ACS Technology White Paper series is on the topic of high-performance computing, or “HPC.”Written by Academic Computing Consultant for the Sciences Chris Gahn, it explains how researchers— often in the sciences, but not always— are turning from expensive lab computers to powerful remote computers for their number crunching. 
ACS Technology White Paper: Digital Storytelling
Academic Computing Services (ACS) is embarking on a new initiative to share the best of our thinking on various academic technology topics with the Vassar faculty. Our Technology White Papers will be brief, informal reports on technologies that we think you’ll find interesting. Each will explain what the technology is, what its potential benefits are, how it’s currently being used in higher education, and how you can get started with it.
Our inaugural white paper, researched and reported by Senior Academic Computing Consultant Baynard Bailey, is on the topic of digital storytelling. Possible future topics include high performance computing, virtual reality, and microcredentials, or digital badging. Please let us know if these efforts are useful for you, and if there are particular topics that you’d like us to address.
