HPC User Forum

A Hyperion Research Special Intelligence Service

In 2000, Hyperion Research (former IDC HPC team), in close partnership with users and vendors in the worldwide high-performance computing (HPC) community, launched the HPC User Forum.

The Forum is a unique market intelligence service that provides 20-25 original research reports per year and features information-packed user meetings within and outside the U.S. each year. Meeting agendas are set by a volunteer steering committee of major user organizations in government, industry and academia.

The HPC User Forum is an extension of our long-standing commitment to the global HPC community.
