FollowHPC Horizons 2025
Join us for an engaging and insightful day at HPC Horizons 2025 - a Community, Science and Technology Showcase.
This event is dedicated to exploring a broadened landscape in HPC from two essential perspectives: community and platforms.
In the morning session, we will discuss strategies for reaching and engaging broader audiences in HPC and highlight the importance of promoting a welcoming environment within the HPC community.
The afternoon session will examine the benefits and challenges of creating a more heterogeneous computing environment and running successfully across systems composed of hardware architectures from different vendors.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts, share experiences, and contribute to advancing a broad HPC community and ecoystem.
