The 2nd semi-annual OAK Supercomputing Conference is being hosted by Arkansas State University. Join us in Downtown Little Rock for building a community for High-Performance Computing (HPC) research, training, and outreach across the Oklahoma/Arkansas/Kansas (OAK) region.
HPC is a critical resource across numerous domains, including STEM, data science/analytics, bioinformatics, machine learning/artificial intelligence, medicine, business, linguistics, etc. The goal of the conference is to bring together the HPC research and user community for a discussion of the latest trends and applications of HPC.
