Overview

This workshop's purpose is to have a meeting where NCSA staff working on projects involving batch processing, asynchronous jobs, and/or HPC can meet one another and exchange ideas about these topics. The goal is to facilitate personal introductions and cross-pollination between organizationally disparate project teams that do similar technical work in this area.
