The MVAPICH team is excited to host the 5th annual MVAPICH User Group
(MUG) meeting. It will take place from August 14-16, 2017 in Columbus,

developers, and system administrators to share their experience and
knowledge and learn from each other.  The event includes Keynote
Talks, Invited Tutorials, Invited Talks, Contributed Presentations,
Open MIC session, hands-on sessions with MVAPICH developers, etc.

This year, we will be holding special tutorials and demo/hands-on
session during the first day of the event (August 14th) and part of
