Supercomputing (SC), held annually, is arguably one of the biggest annual events in high-performance computing (HPC). It’s a great chance for the community to connect and learn from one another, and for Microsoft, the goal remains the same. After a couple years of virtual-only events, we’re thrilled to be joining you in person in Dallas this year—and we’ve got some exciting things in store.
Step into our Microsoft Booth
This year we’ll be located at booth #2433—make sure to stop by and say "hi." We’ll have several goodies for you to take, a caricature artist to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake of your experience at the event, and two hardware booths to let you see in person some of the technology that powers Microsoft Azure HPC + AI virtual machines (VMs). We’ll even be showcasing our newest product launch in the hardware bar. Feeling tired? Come take a break in our lounge or café area for some much-needed relief, networking, or coffee. And of course, an event wouldn’t be the same without our Microsoft specialists and partners sharing in our booth. View our blog to see the full lineup of sessions in the booth.
Explore our joint booth with NVIDIA
We’ll also have a joint booth with NVIDIA, located at #2409. We’ll have Microsoft experts and partners giving presentations in this booth to share insights on the confluence of AI with HPC using NVIDIA accelerated computing on Azure. Don’t be shy about stopping by to talk to our subject matter experts, network with peers or simply get off your feet.
Want to take a break from the hustle of the conference and stretch your creative muscles? Come over to our chalkboard and create an image of what “Make AI Your Reality” means to you. Here’s what to do—draw your image, take a picture and post it to your favorite channel with #MakeAIYourReality, and then show it to a Microsoft or NVIDIA representative in the booth to get your raffle ticket for a chance to win an NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit—a small but powerful computer to start learning about building AI-enabled applications with ready-to-try projects and community support.
Attend the Women in HPC (WHPC) networking reception
We are tremendously honored to be sponsoring the annual Women in High-Performance Computing networking reception. Not only will this drive awareness of diversity and inclusivity topics, but will produce understandings about how we can all work towards improving the under-representation of women in supercomputing.
Visit the Student Cluster Competition
We are so excited to be supporting the SC Student Cluster Competition once again this year! Every year, both undergraduate and high school students design and build small clusters, learn scientific applications, apply optimization techniques for their chosen architectures, and compete in a 48-hour challenge at the SC event to complete real-world workloads, demonstrating their HPC knowledge for conference attendees and judges.

Hear from our customers
With a tight timeline, UD Trucks collaborated with Microsoft and executing partner HCLTech to design and deploy a Microsoft Azure–based system for its previously on-premises simulation and design processes, completing the project in only one month. The new system’s capabilities provide better computational results and have opened new avenues of data innovation, in addition to reducing costs by about 30 percent. The project’s success has led the company to develop plans to move all of its systems to Azure. Read the story.
Rimac Technology is now running Ubercloud on Microsoft Azure to support engineering simulations during the development and testing of electrical vehicles and components. The move has allowed them to manage greater model complexity and take advantage of increased processing speed and scale. Read the full story.
University of bath moved almost all its existing supercomputing resources to the cloud with Microsoft Azure HPC + AI. To power research workloads, it deployed Azure HPC + AI resources on 21 virtual machine instances, ensuring that the right virtual machines can be spun up for any project. Read the full story.
Kensington has decreased its engine runtime from 20 hours to just 25 minutes—for 1.9 billion total calculations with every run. With the stronger insights and predictions that it gains from its optimized models and results, Kensington creates more tailored products and better serves its customers. Read the full story.
