ScicomP Logo

The IBM HPC Systems Scientific Computing User Group, ScicomP, is an international organization of scientific/technical users of IBM systems. ScicomP brings together computational scientists and engineers interested in achieving maximum performance and scalability on all IBM HPC platforms, including POWER, Blue Gene, Cell, Blade, and hybrid architectures. At yearly meetings presentations are given by HPC users, HPC center staff, and IBM staff with a focus on sharing real-world experiences porting, tuning, and running codes on IBM supercomputers. Meetings are co-located with SP-XXL, the members-only user group for sites with large IBM systems.

ScicomP is an independent, user-supported not-for-profit organization. ScicomP invites participation from anyone who uses or supports a large IBM system for performing scientific calcuations.
