The US Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has announced The ECP 2021 Community BOF Days, an impressive list of Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions for the broad high-performance computing (HPC) community.

BOFs have a rich history throughout the HPC community as highly regarded sessions of various formats (e.g., panels, presentation, roundtable) developed to bring together individuals with shared interests. BOFs are designed to promote interactive community discussions of specific topics with the goal of fostering open, candid dialogue among the attendees. Please join us to learn what is new and contribute to the conversation.

The ECP Community BOF Days will take place March 30–April 1, 2021, and consist of 13 informative virtual sessions, each scheduled for 90 minutes. All BOF sessions will be scheduled via Zoom and registration is required. Each session has a zoom link; the Zoom links will be sent when individuals complete a successful registration.

The ECP Community BOF Day Sessions are open to all people interested in HPC. All sessions are live-only events and will not be recorded. The BOFs cover the following topics (US Eastern Time).
