<br>
DETAILS:<br>
<br>
Supercomputing systems present complex challenges to personnel who<br>
design, deploy and and maintain these systems.<br>
<br>
Standing up these systems and keeping them running require novel<br>
solutions that are unique to high performance computing.<br>
<br>
The success of any supercomputing center depends on stable and<br>
reliable systems, and HPC Systems Professionals are crucial to<br>
that success.<br>
<br>
The Inaugural HPC Systems Professionals Workshop will bring<br>
together systems administrators, systems architects, and systems<br>
analysts in order to share best practices, discuss cutting-edge<br>
technologies, and advance the state-of-the-practice for HPC<br>
systems.<br>
<br>
Submissions are encouraged that discuss all aspects of HPC systems<br>
design, implementation, maintenance, and security.<br>
<br>
