Berkeley Lab Staff Add Expertise to SC16 Technical Program
As in years past, Berkeley Lab staff will contribute significantly to the SC16 Technical Program, from being recognized with awards for long-term contributions to the field of high performance computing to conveying expertise through research papers and posters, leading tutorials, organizing workshops and participating in panel discussions and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs).
Additionally, staff members will participate in a number of conference outreach programs for students and early career professionals.
ESnet staff will also participate in technology demonstrations in partners’ booths.
