National Center for Computational Sciences

The NCCS seminar series is a series of monthly seminars on topics of interest in high-performance computing, with an emphasis on topics in petascale computing. Guest speakers are typically researchers in the computer and computational sciences from outside the NCCS who presently interact and collaborate with NCCS staff and/or use the NCCS facility. If you have any questions or suggested speakers for our seminar series or wish to attend an upcoming seminar, please contact Ricky Kendall (kendallra@ornl.gov).
