and Simulation Center (SimCenter) is hosting a “SimCenter Programming
Bootcamp.” The bootcamp's goal is to train NHERI researchers in programming
paradigms not covered in traditional civil engineering courseware, but which
are needed to advance their capabilities with regards to simulation for natural
hazards engineering. <span></span></span></p>

students, postdocs, and new faculty who are interested in simulating the
effects of natural hazards on components, structures, and communities. By the
end of the workshop, participants will have a firm grasp of how to build
applications that utilize SimCenter products and run on the high-performance
computing platform hosted at DesignSafe-CI. <span></span></span></p>
