The University of Bath's 7th annual HPC Symposium will take place on Wednesday 6th June 2018 in 3 West North 2.1.
The symposium aims to showcase the broad range of HPC-enabled research being carried out at Bath, and to provide an informal opportunity for current and prospective users of the University's Balena HPC facility to network and establish new collaborations.
We have a varied lineup of keynote lectures from technology and applications experts alongside contributed talks, posters and "flash" presentations by current Balena users. To reflect the growing interest this area is seeing, part of the morning session will be dedicated to machine learning. We will have keynotes from Timothy Lanfear, EMEA Engineering Director, NVIDIA and Prof. Giovanni Montana, University of Warwick, along with research talks from the ML community at Bath.
Registration is free, and includes refreshments, a buffet lunch and an early-evening networking event with pizza and refreshments.
