"HPC in Industry" Breakout Session
As part of this year's Machine Evaluation Workshop we will be running a breakout session entitled "HPC in Industry".
The session will include talks from successful users of HPC across industry, together with presentations from suppliers of products and services that make HPC easier to access and use.
