This GPFS/Spectrum Scale UG meeting will be in conjunction with the HPCXXL User Group. We have done events like this in the past, typically in NYC, however, with the announcement of Summit (<a href="https://www.ornl.gov/news/ornl-launches-summit-supercomputer" class="">https://www.ornl.gov/news/ornl-launches-summit-supercomputer</a>) and it’s 250 PB, 2.5 TB/s GPFS installaion it is an exciting time to have ORNL as the venue.<br class=""><br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Per usual, the GPFS day will be free, however, this time the event will be split across two days, Wednesday (19th) afternoon and Thursday (20th) morning This way, if you want to travel out Wednesday morning and back Thursday afternoon it’s very do-able. If you want to stay around Thursday afternoon there will be a data center tour available.</div><div><br class=""></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There will be some additional approval processes to attend at ORNL and we’ll share those details and more in the coming weeks. If you are interested in presenting something your site is working on, please let us know. User talks are always well received.</div><div><br class=""></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Save a space on your calendar and hope to see you there.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Best,</div><div>Kristy</div><div><br class=""></div><div>PS - We will, as usual, also have an event at SC18, more on that soon as well.</div></body></html>
