Seminar: Hardware innovation technologies for IT in research

March 5 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

About the seminar

SURF, together with partners, is exploring new hardware technologies for IT in research. In this seminar, we present selected new technologies that accelerate scientific workflows, e.g. simulations, AI and massive data processing. We focus on the latest developments for processors, accelerators, storage and networking technologies that are available, or will soon be available. We hope this meeting will also strengthen our collaborations and identify opportunities for new collaborations.

Presenting yourself?

Do you have a new hardware technology of your own that you would like to briefly present at this seminar? You can! Please contact Raymond Oonk for this at raymond.oonk@surf.nl.
