As of this issue, 256 articles have appeared in HPC Bridge Views. These articles have covered a vast array of project, structural, and material characteristics. There are now two ways that you can find the HPC Bridge Views article that best fits your needs. The first way to find articles is to go to the HPC Bridge Views‘ website at http://www.hpcbridgeviews.com/directory.php. This directory currently provides six pages listing articles in groups of twelve issues. However, there have been 66 issues of this publication, and it takes reading through each of the directory pages to see what topics may be of interest.
Starting with this issue, a second way of locating articles is being provided—a searchable spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is posted on the HPC Bridge Views‘ website and can be downloaded for your use. This article describes the grouping of the articles in the spreadsheet.
