The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) has published a Call for Sessions for its 16th annual OFA Workshop. The event takes place March 17-19, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio.
The OFA Workshop is a premier means of fostering collaboration among those who develop fabrics, deploy fabrics and create applications that rely on fabrics. It is the only event of its kind where fabric developers and users can discuss emerging fabric technologies, collaborate on future industry requirements, and address problems that exist today.
The OFA Workshop 2020 Call for Sessions encourages industry experts and thought leaders to help shape this year’s discussions by presenting or leading discussions on critical high-performance networking issues. Session proposals are being solicited in any area related to high performance networks and networking software, with a special emphasis on the topics for this year’s Workshop. In keeping with the Workshop’s emphasis on collaboration, proposals for Birds of a Feather sessions and panels are particularly encouraged.
The 2020 OFA Workshop will focus on the following overarching topics that span the entire network stack:
|
Advanced Networking from Top to Bottom |
