The SC Conference series was launched in 1988 to provide a community forum for sharing information and strategies for advancing the field of high performance computing. Today, SC is the international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis.
The following is from the SC11 Conference web site:
"The SC11 conference continues a long and successful tradition of engaging the international community in high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. SC11 will place an emphasis on bringing together communities to facilitate information exchange, discussions and new collaborations for research and education related to innovating high performance computing applications and advancing scientific discovery and scholarship. .
For SC11, Data Intensive Science is the crosscutting thrust that will engage conference participants through all of the above offerings. Data intensive science is impacting all fields of study, and SC11 will focus on the challenges and opportunities for addressing the exponential growth and demands in the generation and analysis of data.
Spotlighting the most original and fascinating scientific and technical applications from around the world, SC10 will bring together an unprecedented array of scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, programmers, system administrators, developers and program managers and an exceptional program of technical papers, tutorials and timely research posters. SC10's Exhibition Hall will be second to none, featuring exhibits from international participants representing industry, academia and government research organizations.
