A little throwback to 2019

The year is coming to an end and we would like to connect with you one last time before the holiday season.

2019 has been a year with plenty of interesting achievements for the hpc-ch community and we look forward to growing further with you in 2020.

In this post we look back on the events attended in 2019 and remind you once again about the two forums planned for next year.

Finally, we would also like to announce the launch of our brand new website.

Have a nice read!

Season’s greetings and warm wishes for the new year!
