BOF: Gordon Data Intensive HPC System

Abstract: This BOF will give current and prospective users the background on Gordon’s architecture, examples of application results obtained on Gordon, and insights in the types of problems that may be well-suited for Gordon. A brief presentation on these topics will help orient the audience, but the majority of the session will be dedicated to a discussion with attendees about their applications and how they might take advantage of Gordon’s unique architectural features. The goal of the BOF is to begin building a community of data intensive application users who can share best practices, and begin to learn from one another. Users from non-traditional HPC domains such as the humanities, social science, and economics are encouraged to attend. This will also be a good opportunity for Campus Champions to learn about Gordon so they are well-prepared to engage their local communities.
