HPEC is the largest computing conference in New England and is the premier conference in the world on the convergence of High Performance and Embedded Computing. We are passionate about performance. Our community is interested in computing hardware, software, systems and applications where performance matters. We welcome experts and people who are new to the field. HPEC 2024 will once again be hosted on the Engagez platform. We look forward to learning and networking! More information on Engagez will be posted soon!
