This year's theme—Sustainability, Success and Impact—reflects key goals for those managing, developing, and using advanced research computing: sustainability of the infrastructure environment, measuring and ensuring success for those organizations providing and using advanced research computing, and impact of the technologies on the workforce and on science and scholarship.
The PEARC17 Call for Participation has been posted! The Technical Program for PEARC17 includes four Paper tracks, Tutorials, Posters, a Visualization Showcase and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions. All submissions should emphasize experiences and lessons derived from operation and use of advanced research computing on campuses or provided for the academic and open science communities. Submissions aligned with the conference theme—Sustainability, Success, and Impact—are particularly encouraged.
As part of including additional partners, the fourth Advancing Research Computing on Campuses (ARCC) Best Practices Workshop is being co-located with PEARC17. Presented by Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Research and Education Facilitators (ACI-REF) consortium, professionals involved in operating and supporting campus research computing infrastructure will share experiences and expertise in targeted panels and sessions.
PEARC17 is pleased to be able to provide financial support for some student attendees, thanks to generous contributions from XSEDE and the San Diego Supercomputer Center and through the fundraising efforts of STEM-Trek and Virginia Tech. Support is available to students who contribute papers or posters to the Technical Program. See the Student Program page for details and to apply.
