CORE Ranking A
SC (Supercomputing) is the flagship annual conference for high-performance computing, drawing researchers, engineers, and industry professionals working at the frontier of large-scale computation. The conference covers scientific computing, parallel algorithms, HPC architectures, storage systems, networking, AI at scale, and applications ranging from climate modelling to drug discovery. SC is notable for its technical programme depth alongside one of the largest exhibition floors in the HPC world, where major vendors and national laboratories showcase their latest systems. McCormick Place on Chicago’s lakefront is the largest convention centre in the US and a fitting venue for an event of SC’s scale, with thousands of hotel rooms accessible within a short distance and one of North America’s best airport connections via O’Hare.
