Let us know when you publish

When your paper appears, please email the citation (and a DOI, if there is one) to help-hpc@caltech.edu. We keep a running list of publications enabled by the cluster — it goes into our annual report, gives us concrete evidence when we’re making the case for new hardware in funding conversations, and lets us highlight your work to other research groups.

Selected publications also appear in the landing-page news ticker from time to time, so let us know if you’d rather we hold off on featuring yours.
