The October HPC User Forum at HLRS Will Showcase HPC Europe. The event takes place Oct. 1-2, 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Key topics will be HPC in Germany, HPC in Europe, automated driving systems and urban AI uses, plus an update on quantum computing and other emerging technologies. The Cannstatter Volksfest, Stuttgart’s terrific Oktoberfest, will be open for those who want to arrive early, stay late or enjoy the festivities in the evening. Registration will be available soon at www.hpcuserforum.com. We look forward to seeing you in Stuttgart.
