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. In April 2019, the 72nd HPC User Forum took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This update summarizes a presentation from that meeting entitled, Safety, Reproducibility, Performance: Accelerating Cancer Drug Discovery with ML and HPCT technologies, given by Amanda J. Minnich, Staff Research Scientist, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

In May 2021, the 76th HPC User Forum took place virtually. This update summarizes a presentation from that virtual conference given by Richard Lawrence, IT Fellow for Supercomputing at the Met Office, the UK’s national meteorological service. He provided updates on their current activities, challenges, and goals, as well as gave insights into their procurement process and what the community can expect from the Met Office in the upcoming years.
