Women in High Performance Computing Bay Area Chapter
Join us! We are a group of women and allies based among Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and UC Berkeley. Our mission is to diversify the HPC profession to better represent the important work of women and other underrepresented groups.
As a Women in HPC chapter, our goals range from local, individual support to transforming the global HPC community for the better. We hope to bring together various communities of practice who have experience with not only HPC, but additional surrounding topics like data science, data storage and movement, web portals, skill-building, and any other topics of interest.
