Supercomputing Asia (SCA) Conference
The SCA conference is an annual international HPC event that encompasses an umbrella of notable supercomputing and allied events in Asia. Established in 2018, the conference is co-organised by HPC centres from Australia, Japan, Singapore, and Thailand and has become a key networking and collaboration platform for the regional and global supercomputing community. The event attracts HPC thought leaders, decision-makers, academics, multinational corporations, commercial partners, and industry professionals.
Since its inception in 2018, SCA has traditionally been held in Singapore, serving as a vital meeting point for the global supercomputing community in Asia. However, in a momentous move, the 2024 edition took place in Sydney, Australia, marking a significant expansion of its reach. Looking ahead, the co-organisers are committed to further broadening the event’s impact across Asia.
SCA25
SCA25 is set to return to Singapore from March 10 to 13, 2025. The conference promises a wealth of engaging activities and discussions.
Keep an eye on our website for official registration details, which will be ready soon. Join us as we embark on this journey to shape the future of supercomputing in Asia and beyond.
