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
