XSEDE16, the 5th annual conference, will showcase the discoveries, innovations, challenges and achievements of those who use and support XSEDE resources and services, as well as other digital resources and services throughout the world. The XSEDE16 theme is: “Diversity, Big Data, & Science at Scale: Enabling the Next Generation of Science and Technology.”

The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is the most advanced, powerful, and robust collection of integrated advanced digital resources and services in the world. It is a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data, and expertise. Scientists and engineers around the world use these resources and services—supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools—to make our lives healthier, safer, and better.
