OSC at SC21

OSC is proud to participate in the annual Supercomputing Conference (SC) virtually in 2021. We are sad to miss so many of our outstanding partners and peers at the physical event, but we are excited to interact electronically and are hopeful about a return to in-person presence in 2022.

OSC's history at SC is extensive, and this year it continues with a full slate of virtual sessions and showcases, detailed below.
