NERSCPowering Scientific Discovery for 50 Years

NUG 2020

NUG 2020 focused on the upcoming Perlmutter system its capabilities, how NERSC is preparing its facility to support the system, resources for helping get your applications running on the Phase I's GPUs, plans for software and services, how and when users will get access, and system features to support AI/learning and data analysis of experimental/observational data.
