This was the inaugural conference from the organizing committee for Manitoba’s Future in High Performance Computing. The conference was held at the University of Winnipeg, on June 21, 2018.
The purpose of this conference was to demonstrate the emergence of HPC Computing using GPU technologies. Our Manitoba Training and Research Consortium for HPC (MTRC-HPC) is committed to the development of high-performance computing and parallel processing in Manitoba. For these developments to take place a combination of technology implementation and student/client training needs to be advanced and promoted.
We are pleased to bring you this conference with the hope that it will inspire others to join in to promote the development and deployment of HPC technology in Manitoba.
We would like to thank our guests and sponsors for making this event so successful. Our sponsors for this event were: UW, U of M, RRC, Ade and Company, IEEE, ICTAM and EnviroTREC.
