We invite our fellow HPC community to submit Birds of a Feather (BoF) proposals to present, discuss, and brainstorm the latest advancements in supercomputing and adjunct topic areas. The BoF sessions should be non-commercial and focus on community building through interactive presentations and discussions. Before submitting, consider whether your proposed session fits this description, and whether there is a sizable group of people curious about the topic. Proposals should demonstrate a clear concept for the interactive nature of their BoF.
