Bringing together 2,051 international attendees and 84 exhibitors, from June 24 to July 2, ISC 2021 Digital was undeniably the largest virtual community get-together for high performance computing (HPC), machine learning (ML) and high performance data analytics (HPDA) in 2021.
Given the interactive nature of the virtual platform, many attendees, speakers, and exhibitors used the opportunity to engage in conversations in real time, and close to 1,850 people actively used the platform during the conference. Breakout sessions, such as the ISC Hallway discussions provided another way for attendees to talk with one another.
Registered attendees will have exclusive access to all on demand content until end of 2021.
ISC High Performance attendees can look forward to a number of prestigious awards that recognize research excellence in high performance computing.
Research Paper Awards
The following award will be given to one outstanding research paper submitted to the conference:
