April 26-30, 2021- Virtual Conference

Theme: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Salishan Conference

Over the past four decades, the annual Salishan High Speed Computing Conference has convened thought leaders of the HPC community as well as influential policy makers and program managers.  Unlike an academic conference that brings together those directly engaged in research, Salishan attendees represent the broader community in government labs and agencies, industry leaders, as well as academic luminaries. Including this broader community nurtures a unique experience in which all facets of the HPC ecosystem are considered, including important issues like market viability or the political considerations of sustaining long-term investment in approaches and technologies. The invitation-only structure of Salishan ensured that the diversity of viewpoints and perspectives, as well as cutting edge information within the community could be represented, considered and developed.  As a result of its location, unique structure and opportunity for access to peer thought leaders, speakers and attendees chosen for their ability to influence and impact the HPC community, Salishan became and has maintained its position as one of the most sought-after invitations by HPC community leaders.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the conference. Fittingly, the theme of the 2021 Conference will be a celebration of the Salishan Conference, High Speed Computing, its history, and importantly the leaders and luminaries that have made the success and significant impact of Salishan and High Speed Computing possible over these past four decades.
