OAK Supercomputing Conference (Spring 2025)
Introduction
Welcome to the 2025 Spring OAK Supercomputing Conference! This is the 4th conference in a series of conferences for the Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas (OAK) region, bringing together supercomputing experts, researchers, and students from across the region for a discussion and exploration of the latest trends and technologies in the field of high-performance computing. Topics will include the relevance of machine learning & artificial intelligence and data-driven applications in scientific research.
Focus: This workshop is designed for early and mid-career scientists, and students and post-docs. In particular, participants from different scientific domains who would like to learn how to use High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources and want to connect to the community of experts and users in the OAK region. During the conference, discussions will be held regarding building a community for sharing of HPC resources and knowledge know-how. Users who are new to HPC/supercomputers and want to learn about them are specially encouraged to attend.
We thank our sponsors!
