ScicomP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM HPC Systems Scientific Computing User Group (ScicomP) was a non-profit, user-led group for scientific and technical users of IBM high-performance computing (HPC) systems. It was part of the SPXXL organization. It held yearly meetings with presentations to allow users to share expertise and collaborate on the development of efficient and scalable scientific applications. Though not affiliated with IBM Corporation, the group's meetings provided an opportunity to give feedback to IBM that would influence the design of future systems.
In 2014, IBM's x86-based server business was transferred to Lenovo, and SPXXL dropped the vendor requirement, opening membership to all HPC vendors. Active vendors included IBM, Lenovo, Intel, and Mellanox as of 2016.[1] As of 2016, Lenovo still engaged with the user group.[2] It later became HPCXXL[3]
