Berkeley Lab Staff Gear Up for SC22
This Year's Supercomputing Conference Will Be Held November 13-18 in Dallas
November 7, 2022
One of the major events of the supercomputing year is coming, and Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences Area (CSA) staff will be there to learn, connect, and share their knowledge with the HPC community. The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis 2022 (SC22) will take place November 13-18 in Dallas, primarily in person for the first time since 2019.
CSA researchers, scientists, and engineers are participating in tutorials, workshops, panels, technical papers, and posters as part of the conference's technical program. In addition, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) booth – which showcases the 17 DOE national laboratories – will feature high-level talks and technical demonstrations from the labs, some in person, some online.
All times are Central Standard.
