SUMMARY:ODISSEI: High Performance Computing for Social Science Research
DESCRIPTION:Kasia Karpinska and Tom Emery (Erasmus University Rotterdam)\n
 \nODISSEI’s advanced scientific computing infrastructure demonstrates how 
 high-performance computing (HPC) can transform social science research. By
  leveraging a national supercomputer, ODISSEI provides social scientists w
 ith a secure, powerful HPC environment to process massive longitudinal dat
 asets and complex data linkages. Researchers can now apply complex models 
 and simulations to sensitive and high resolution data—such as large-scale 
 network analysis, agent-based modeling, and deep neural networks—thanks to
  ample memory, massive parallelism, and specialized hardware (GPUs) that a
 ccelerate computation. HPC yields significant computational efficiencies: 
 tasks that once took months can run in a matter of days, greatly accelerat
 ing the research workflow and iterative discovery. ODISSEI’s infrastructur
 e is highly scalable, accommodating the ever-growing volume and complexity
  of datasets, drawn from administrative, experimental and web sources, whi
 le maintaining performance. Equally important, this integration of cutting
 -edge computing within social science fosters interdisciplinary collaborat
 ion between researchers, data providers, and computer scientists. Notably,
  the combination of extensive, well-annotated social science datasets with
  supercomputing capabilities that ODISSEI offers is unprecedented, positio
 ning it at the forefront of data-intensive social research. In this presen
 tation I provide a number of use cases where exceptionally rich data sourc
 es have led to new, innovative, and novel research lines.\n\nDomain: Chemi
