Welcome to the 13th CHPC National Conference.

Theme: Secure Cyber-Infrastructure within Fast Converging Platforms

The comprehensive programme will include national and international contributions as well as contributions from our colleagues in the National Cyberinfrastructure System (NICIS): the South African National Research Network (SANReN) and the Data Intensive Research Initiative of South Africa (DIRISA). The 1st and 5th December will be tutorials and workshops, while the main conference will be 2–4 December. Once again, the South African Development Community (SADC) HPC Collaboration Forum will form part of the conference to discuss the SADC HPC framework and implementation plans.

Our expo zone will showcase solutions by leading technology companies and the student competition battleground where 20 teams from universities across the country will be seeking national honours in the 9th Student Cluster Competition and in the 3rd Student Cyber-Security Competition. We trust you will find an exciting programme and we look forward to meeting our regular and new delegates.
