IMPORTANT: September 1st is the deadline to register for HPCXXL and the GPFS
Day. Registration closes earlier than normal. This is due to the background
check required to attend the event on site at ORNL. The access review process
takes at least 3 weeks to complete for foreign nationals and 1 week to complete
for US Citizens. So don't wait too long to make your travel decisions.
ALSO: If you are interested in giving a site presentation, please let us know
as we are trying to finalize the agenda.
About HPCXXL:
HPCXXL is a user group for sites which have large supercomputing and storage
installations. Because of the history of HPCXXL, the focus of the group is on
large-scale scientific/technical computing using IBM or Lenovo hardware and
software, but other vendor hardware and software is also welcome. Some of the
areas we cover are: Applications, Code Development Tools, Communications,
Networking, Parallel I/O, Resource Management, System Administration, and
Training. We address topics across a wide range of issues that are important to
sustained petascale scientific/technical computing on scaleable parallel
machines. Some of the benefits of joining the group include knowledge sharing
across members, NDA content availability from vendors, and access to vendor
developers and support staff.
The HPCXXL user group is a self-organized and self-supporting group. Members
and affiliates are expected to participate actively in the HPCXXL meetings and
activities and to cover their own costs for participating. HPCXXL meetings are
open only to members and affiliates of the HPCXXL. HPCXXL member institutions
must have an appropriate non-disclosure agreement in place with IBM and Lenovo,
since at times both vendors disclose and discuss information of a confidential
nature with the group.
To join HPCXXL, a new organization needs to be sponsored by a current HPCXXL
member or by the prospective member themselves. This process is straightforward
and can be completed over email or in person when a representative attends
their first meeting. If you are interested in learning more, please contact
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> HPCXXL president
Michael Stephan.
