HPC User Forum – Oct. 7-8, 2019

The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre is pleased to announce the HPC User Forum that will be held from October 7 to 8, 2019 at the Hotel De La Paix in Lugano, located in the Italian area of Switzerland.

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 in Lugano, where the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS) is located, 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.
