Registration is now open for a pair of HPC User Forum events coming up in October. The first event takes place Oct. 7-8 at CSCS in Lugano and the second event takes place Oct. 10-11 at EPCC in Edinburgh.
The HPC User Forum Steering Committee and Hyperion Research invite interested HPC community members to reserve a seat at one or both HPC User Forum meetings that will take place during the same week at CSCS (the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, Lugano) and EPCC/University of Edinburgh in October. The meetings will begin and end at midday, to make same-day travel easier. Registration and food/refreshments are free, but space is strictly limited. Seats will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to seeing you in October.
