Dell Technologies HPC Community in 2021:
Presentations, Events(!), New Features, and Ideas
Presentations, Events(!), New Features, and Ideas
2020 turned out to be a very successful year for the HPC Community despite the cancellation of all three in-person meetings as we migrated to an online weekly series of presentations and conversations. However, 2021 will be bigger and better as we develop a full year of online events, return to in-person meetings in 2H21, and implement some new ideas to advance the Community and the HPC field. Jay Boisseau, Dell Technologies HPC Community Director (and AI & HPC Technology Strategist) will present our initial plans for 2021: online events and topics, projected in-person meetings, and other new features of the community we plan to roll out. We will close with a town hall discussion for people to share their ideas for how the HPC Community can increase its impact in 2021.

AI and HPC Technology Strategist, Dell Technologies
Jay Boisseau is an experienced, recognized leader and strategist in advanced computing technologies, with over 25 years of experience in building and leading computing programs, departments, and organizations. As the AI & HPC Technology Strategist at Dell Technologies, Jay evaluates new technologies and approaches for HPC and machine/deep learning, assesses customers’ workloads needs, and plans, and helps design new solutions to increase customers’ innovation, productivity, and efficiency. His current primary focus areas are cloud-enabled HPC for simulation, data analytics, and AI workloads, and large-scale/high-end solutions for HPC and AI. Additional projects include evaluations of several new AH & HPC technologies and leading the Dell Technologies HPC Community.
Before coming to Dell Technologies in 2014, Jay created the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin and led it (2001-14) to world prominence. Under Jay’s leadership, TACC deployed numerous world-class computing systems for U.S. open scientific research and developed new programs to enable thousands of researchers to accomplish more with these powerful technologies. Before TACC, Jay worked as an associate director at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (1996-2001) and the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (1994-96). Jay received his doctorate in astronomy from UT Austin for his advanced computational research in modeling the structure of supernovae explosions.
