Impacting Cancer with HPC: Opportunities and Challenges

Wednesday, November 16, 2016, 5:15 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. MT

High performance computing and HPC technologies have long been employed in multiple roles in cancer research and clinical applications. The importance of HPC in medical applications has been highlighted within the National Strategic Computing Initiative, several activities associated with the US Cancer Moonshot effort and collaborations between the US National Cancer Institute and the Department of Energy. This BoF session will focus on bringing together those with an interest in furthering the impact of HPC on cancer, providing overviews of application areas and technologies, opportunities and challenges, while providing for in-depth interactive discussion across interest areas. 

Session Leaders:
