Welcome to MUG 2022
The Minho Advanced Computing Center (MACC) would like to invite you to this year’s edition of the event MUG: MACC User Group Workshop, which will take place on July 7 and 8, at the Crowne Plaza hotel, in Porto.
The MACC is a member of the National Network for Advanced Computing, which aims to support the academic and business communities in the High-Performance Computing (HPC) field. The main goal is to ensure the community’s access to computational resources, thus promoting innovation in all science and business areas and enabling scientific breakthroughs or new products.
In this sense, MACC will promote another edition of MUG, a discussion forum to all potential users about HPC-related topics in Portugal and Europe. More specifically, this event aims to foster a collaborative environment between different stakeholders, promoting the adoption of advanced computing techniques and engagement with the operational team to better serve the scientific community.
