The 32nd ISC High Performance is now open for registration. Attendees can save more than 45 percent off the onsite registration fee by registering between now and May 10 for the full conference pass.
We also advise attendees to look into housing as early as possible to ensure that the hotels of their choices still have rooms to offer. The conference’s official hotel partners are Marriott, Maritim and Mövenpick. Marriott and Maritim still have ample rooms to offer at special rates to our attendees. Please click on the Travel & Stay page on the ISC website and proceed to “Frankfurt Hotels” for the booking links.

STEM Day & Gala Event
This is a new program, which will offer 200 regional and international students a full-day of activities to discover HPC, including visiting the exhibition, attending a conference keynote, participating in a career fair, and networking at a special gala dinner.
This program is free of charge for all students. If you are interested in positioning yourself as a STEM champ, come forward to sponsor or join the job fair.
Sponsor the ISC-HPCAC Student Cluster Competition
This important training ground helps student teams learn how to scale HPC, developing skills they’ll use throughout their careers. Give our future lift by joining us and STEM champions like Airbus and the Portland Group!
All sponsor proceeds are applied in full to support the competition and teams. Non-monetary contributions providing students teams with software, tools and training in advance of the competition, are also available.
These SCC sponsorships help each student go from novice to HPC ace in a few short months. Plus, each team member takes the skills they develop as international competitors with them through their academic years and beyond - from summer internships to full time employment.
