<br>
In addition: we are pleased to announce <strong>two great opportunities</strong> to access prioritised resources in the 2024B semester for projects related to the following:</div>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>HPC Projects</strong>: this is for projects with an emphasis on High Performance Computing (e.g. CPU optimisation; multithreading; distributed computing; etc.)</li><li><strong>Research Translation Projects</strong>: this is for commercial or cross-disiplinary research projects. If you have an idea for a new or existing codebase for which ADACS effort could enable or accelerate commercial or cross-disiplinary research
opportunities, then this represents an excellent opportunity.</li></ol>
