Join us for an engaging and insightful day at HPC Horizons 2025 - Science, Technology, and Community Showcase: Accelerating Diversity in HPC.
This event is dedicated to exploring and promoting diversity in HPC from two essential perspectives: people 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 more inclusive 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 diversity in HPC.
