ISC High Performance is Europe’s leading conference and exhibition for high performance computing, networking, and storage. Held annually at the Congress Center Hamburg each June, ISC draws over 4,000 attendees and features a substantial exhibition floor where major HPC vendors - Nvidia, AMD, Intel, HPE, Cray, and many others - present their latest hardware and software. The technical programme covers parallel computing architectures, large-scale simulations, scientific computing, AI for science, and the intersection of HPC with machine learning workloads. The conference consistently features the latest TOP500 list update, making it a primary venue for announcements about the world’s fastest supercomputers. Hamburg is a straightforward destination from most European airports and has direct connections from major North American hubs, and the CCH’s central location means attendees can walk from many nearby hotels. The conference runs in late June when Hamburg’s long summer evenings and waterfront harbour make it a particularly enjoyable city to spend a working week.
