Program Set for Virtual RMACC HPC Symposium

Registration is underway for the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium’s  (RMACC) 11^th Annual High Performance Computing Symposium, scheduled on-line for May 19-20.  The Symposium will once again be offered free of charge with lead sponsorship support from Intel and Dell with additional support from ARM and HPE.

The diverse multi-track program includes tutorials and panel discussions on green practices in HPC; HPC for Scientific Visualization; Machine Learning; and GPU. Keynote talks will be presented by Duke’s Dr. Amanda Randles and Oklahoma’s Dr. Amy McGovern.

Randles, a leading expert in the use of high-performance computing in biomedical engineering, will give the opening Keynote on the 19^th. McGovern, who leads the NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography, will speak on the 20^th.  Their appearances – along with the many diverse sessions – continues the RMACC’s tradition of showcasing cutting-edge HPC achievements in both industry and education.   Sessions on opportunities for women in the HPC field also are scheduled.

The Symposium once again features a poster competition for students to showcase their research, said Becky Yeager, the RMACC’s Executive Director and Symposium coordinator.  Winners will earn an all-expenses paid trip to the Super Computing Conference – SC21 – in St. Louis, MO in November.
