Catch up with LBNL Computing Sciences staff at SC07
For more than 30 years, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center have been leaders in scientific computing and networking. And although hardware often seems to get top billing in the world of HPC, it’s their staff who are driving computational science research in new and exciting directions. During SC07 in Reno, they invite you to drop by Booth 351, grab a seat and join in conversations with staff members at the times listed below. Tuesday, Nov. 13
