Lawrence Livermore heads to the 33rd annual Supercomputing Conference (SC21), which will be held in a hybrid (i.e., virtual and in-person) format throughout November 14–19. Follow LLNL Computing (@Livermore_Comp) on Twitter with the hashtags: #LLNLatSC and #SC21. The Department of Energy (@NatLabsHPC) will also tweet during the event.
All initial broadcast times are listed in Central Standard Time. Please see the Remote Participation FAQ for information about which sessions are pre-recorded, livestreamed, in-person only, and/or available online afterwards, as well as other logistics.
