Exascale Computing Project Community BOF Days (Mar 30-Apr 1)
The Exascale Computing Project (ECP) is hosting Community Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) Days from March 30 – April 1. These community BOFs will provide an opportunity for the HPC community to engage with ECP teams to discuss their latest development efforts. Each of the 13 BOFs will be a 90-minute session, with a brief overview followed by Q&A. For more information please visit https://www.exascaleproject.org/event/ecp-community-bof-days-2021/.
