ISC 2022 Call for Tutorials
PLEASE NOTE: THE CALL FOR TUTORIALS IS CLOSED!
The ISC tutorials are interactive courses focusing on key topics of high performance computing, networking, storage, and data science. Renowned experts in their respective fields will give attendees a comprehensive introduction to the topic as well as providing a closer look at specific problems. Tutorials are encouraged to include a “hands-on” component to allow attendees to practice prepared materials.
Attendance requires a Tutorial Pass. Please click here to view our registration fees. The ISC organizers will grant a 100% discount on the tutorial pass to the tutorial presenters.
