[hpc-announce] Invitation to contribute to SIAM/Supercomputing initiatives for HPC

[Rio Yokota]

Dear HPC Fans, 

Have you heard about the new initiatives of the SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing (SIAG/SC)?  Our focus is raising awareness of HPC opportunities, growing the community, and preparing the next generation of young HPC scholars.  We invite you to get involved!
  
To kick start these initiatives, we will host three virtual sessions open to everyone, spanning various time zones. Each session will begin with a 10-minute lightning talk by a leader in the HPC community. We will then introduce our SIAG/SC initiatives and invite attendees to discuss feedback, next steps, and how you can help.
