ONLINE
The 15th USERS CONFERENCE brings together supercomputing users to share knowledge and experience in the use of HPC.

The Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES) organises the Annual RES Users Conference to inform about RES news and to provide information of interest about access to its resources and about the European HPC ecosystem. This event is a meeting place for all users, support technicians, the access committee and the users committee. The duration of the conference will be 2 days, starting on Thursday 16 September, with plenary sessions and technical and scientific conferences by leading supercomputing specialists. The second day, Friday 17th September, will continue with sessions focused on scientific and technical topics within the HPC world and will end with an awards ceremony for the most relevant contribution in the HPC area.

PROGRAM & ABSTRACTS BOOK, you can download the document here.

3rd EDITION OF RES AWARDS (call closed!): Once again, the RES Award for the best scientific article using RES resources will be announced. More information on the call can be found at the following link. Users can submit their proposal while resgistering for the conference.
