Why HPCAST-NTIG? Quite easy to find many potential benefits: • Face-to-face customers and HP • Support issues, bring them to surface early on, open and frank discussions • Customer feedback for enhancements/requests • Joint projects • Nordic large system sites and users, common interests and cooperation. However, not certain that this is enough. A successfully and rewarding meeting requires a setup that is useful and worth the time for customers as well as HP. Let's try to find that during this meeting.
Historical NSC perspective. • During the T3E days NSC , CSC and NTNU had meetings twice a year with Cray and later SGI/Cray (Origin). • Quite simple and straightforward -> easy to organize • Part of the meeting was for customers only • Priority list of issues was compiled before the meeting. • Technical talks on topics of interest delivered by Cray and later SGI. • Worked well.
