The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. The organization has grown to 150 members. It is directed by a volunteer Steering Committee of HPC users from government, industry and academia, and is operated for the users by market analyst firm IDC. We hold two full-membership meetings a year in the United States, and also hold two meetings annually in international locations. Dr. Michael Resch of HRLS is a member of our Steering Committee.
