Held in conjunction with SC18

The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis

 

 Quick Information

In order to meet the demands of high performance computing (HPC) researchers, large-scale computational and storage machines require many staff members who design, install, and maintain these systems. These HPC systems professionals include system engineers, system administrators, network administrators, storage administrators and operations staff all who face problems that are specific to high performance systems.

The Systems Professionals Workshop intends to be a platform for discussing the unique challenges that come from supporting large-scale, high performance systems. We are soliciting submissions that speak directly to the state of the practice of standing up and operating high performance systems with an emphasis on solutions that can be implemented by systems staff at other institutions.

After two successful workshops (2016, 2017), we are planning the 2018 version. The workshop will be November 11, 2018 from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
