HPE at SC21: Your guide to supercomputing’s premier event

[Brandon_Draeger]

Here's your guide to all things HPE at SC21. Whether you join virtually or in-person we have tons of great learning, discussion, and opportunities to connect planned, starting... now.  

Gather ‘round! It’s time for SC21—the annual supercomputing conference that brings us together around the science and technology that improves lives across the globe every day. Being part of it is an honor and a yearly highlight.

The conference itself is still a little different this year. In the spirit of hybrid high-performance computing, we’re also taking a hybrid approach... you’ll find us both virtually and in person! Our onsite presence will be more understated than usual, but we still feel the same outsized level of joy at reconvening with you in whatever form! 

Whether you’re attending onsite in St. Louis or joining from home, we have a great program planned. Here’s a guide to help you sift through and plan your week:

Discover More network

Attending virtually? Drop in on our Discover More Network SC21 page where you’ll find everything on HPE HPC products and services like HPE Cray supercomputers and HPE GreenLake for HPC, webcasts with tech experts, interviews with HPE thought leaders like Justin Hotard, General Manager of HPC, MCS, and Labs and Bill Mannel, VP and General Manager for HPC, customer stories… and even a supercomputer coloring book (shh… we won’t tell if it never makes it to your kids). 

Demos, livestreams, and more onsite

Coming to St. Louis? We’d love the opportunity to chat all things HPC—your vision for it… and ours. Visit us at Booth 2215 for demos, livestreams, and a chance to just say hello. (We’ll be following all SC-required COVID-19 protocols.)

Engage with our experts in the booth on a number of topics, including:

• Explore HPC and AI solutions featuring Determined AI, HPE Slingshot, HPE Apollo, HPE HPC software, HPE Cray Systems Management, and HPE Cray EX supercomputer
• Learn about the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform with a demo on self-service for data scientists using their HPC clusters with HPE GreenLake for HPC
• Hear from customers on the power of exascale computing and how it can advance the way we live and work
• See some of the innovations happening at Hewlett Packard Labs
• Catch livestreams with HPE leaders

Tap into the collective HPC brain trust

Learn from some of the smartest people in the industry. HPE has 20+ contributors leading workshops, BoFs, and sessions over the course of the week.

Here’s a sample:

Get insight from Darel Emmot in his workshop Designing Heterogeneous Systems: Large Scale Architectural Exploration Via Simulation (Friday, Nov. 19, 11:20 am CT)

Join this BoF with Sam Partee Two Worlds Collide: Traditional HPC Simulation and the Modern AI/ML Stack (Tuesday, Nov. 16, 12:15pm CT)

See the full calendar here. 

No last call on the virtual learning     

Where to even start? Catch webinars, Twitter chats, demos, more demos, updates, and more. Here are some highlights to get your itinerary started:

Demo: Hewlett Packard Labs revolutionizing clean energy with scalable Auto ML for reinforcement learning

Dive into the future of AI and see Labs’ research in action—reading ocean waves, making decisions to maximize energy production and reduce maintenance, and getting better with every wave!

Webinar: How to Simplify HPC With On-Prem Cloud Services

Experts from IDG and HPE explore how HPE GreenLake for HPC allows you to choose an on-premises HPC solution with all the flexibility, scalability, and utility-like consumption of the cloud.

Twitter Chat

Exascale computing makes the possibilities endless. Really? Really. Join the Twitter chat with Intel and Argonne National Lab where we’ll be talking about what’s going on in the world of exascale, the Aurora supercomputing, and more. Bring your questions and join in on Monday, November 15 at 1pm CT!

Whether it’s virtual, in-person, or a little bit of both, we look forward to seeing you at SC!
