HPC 2012 - 5th High Performance Computing

HPC Day

The HPC Day within the 41st Argentine Conference of Informatics aims to bring together researchers, developers, and users of HPC to discuss the ideas and experiences of scientist and practitioners of High Performance Computing in Argentina and Latin America. The HPC Day will feature invited talks from academy and industry, presenting both mature work and new ideas about the application of high performance computing in research and industrial applications, and round-table meetings for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC. The event will also present the activities held in the V Latin American Symposium on High Performance Computing (HPCLatAm2012) and the High Performance Computing School (ECAR 2012), both sponsored by SADIO.

This event is co-organized with RISC project "A network for supporting the coordination of Supercomputing Research between Europe and Latin America". The RISC Project is funded from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme [FP7/2007-2013] under grant agreement 288777.
