SCOPE
CARLA is an international conference aimed at providing a forum to
foster the growth and strength of the High Performance Computing (HPC)
community in Latin America and beyond. The conference serves as a
platform for new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC and its
applications areas. Started in 2014, CARLA has become the flagship
conference for HPC in the region. We invite the international community
to share its advances on both HPC and HPC4AI as these fields are key areas
that are becoming the predominant engine for innovation and development.
VENUE AND ORGANIZATION
This year marks for the first time CARLA will be held in the Caribbean.
The region is home to over 30 states and dependencies spread across
approximately 7,000 islands. The conference will feature an exciting
mix of sessions, including:
     • Keynote sessions
     • Invited talks from academia and industry
     • Paper presentations
     • Poster sessions
     • Workshops & tutorials
     • Networking & discussion forums
