With the addition of esteemed supercomputing pioneer Gordon Bell to its invited talk lineup, SC17 now boasts a total of 12 invited talks on its agenda.
As SC explains, “Invited Talks are a premier component of the SC conference program, complementing the presentations of the regular technical papers program. Invited talks feature leaders high performance computing, networking, analysis and storage who present innovative technical contributions and their applications. At all invited talks, you should expect to hear about pioneering technical achievements, the latest innovations in supercomputing, networking and data analytics and broad efforts to answer some of most complex questions of our time.”
