Registration to join the conferences is open till 15th September 2016.
The Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES), coordinated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), and the High Performance Computing Advisory Council, will hold the 5th HPC Advisory Council Spain Conference and the 10th RES Users'Conference on 20th & 21st September 2016, in León (Spain).
The HPC Advisory Council Spain Conference's objective is to encourage an interactive exchange through keynote, panel, technical and sponsor sessions and addresses a range of interests, disciplines and topics such as:Ushering in the Exascale Era, Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Data Sciences and Big Data Acceleration … and much more.
The 10th RES Users'Conference will inform on the available resources and services, as well as the request method and review procedure, to disseminate the results obtained using the RES supercomputing facilities, and to offer a discussion forum between the users, the CURES and the RES coordination. Moreover it will share the experience of PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) users and how to request acces to those european infrastructures.
Registration to join the conferences is open till 15th September 2016

ORGANISERS' INFORMATION
About the HPC Advisory Council
The HPC Advisory Council’s mission is to bridge the gap between high-performance computing (HPC) use and its potential, bring the beneficial capabilities of HPC to new users for better research, education, innovation and product manufacturing, bring users the expertise needed to operate HPC systems, provide application designers with the tools needed to enable parallel computing, and to strengthen the qualification and integration of HPC system products. For more information about the HPC Advisory Council, please visit www.hpcadvisorycouncil.com.
About the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS)
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center is the national supercomputing centre in Spain. The BSC-CNS specialises in high performance computing (HPC) and its mission is two-fold: to provide infrastructure and supercomputing services to European scientists, and to generate knowledge and technology to transfer to business and society.
It is a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence and a first level member of the European research infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe). The BSC-CNS also manages the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES). More information at: http://www.bsc.es/
About the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES)
The Spanish Supercomputing network (Red Española de Supercomputing - RES) is a distributed supercomputer structure, the aim of which is to meet the needs of research groups in Spain. The RES’s technical management is coordinated by the BSC-CNS and answers the scientific community’s growing need for supercomputing.
