Join Microsoft at ISC2019 in Frankfurt

The world of computing goes deep and wide on working on issues related to our environment, economy, energy, and public health systems. These needs require modern, advanced solutions that were traditionally limited to a few organizations, are hard to scale, and take a long time to deliver.

The world of computing goes deep and wide in regards to working on issues related to our environment, economy, energy, and public health systems. These needs require modern, advanced solutions that can be hard to scale, take a long time to deliver, and were traditionally limited to a few organizations. Microsoft Azure delivers high-performance computing (HPC) capability and tools to power solutions that address these challenges integrated into a global-scale cloud platform.

Join us in Frankfurt, Germany from June 17–19, 2019 at the world's second-largest supercomputing show, ISC High Performance 2019. Learn how Azure customers combine the flexibility and elasticity of the cloud and how to integrate both our specialized compute virtual machines (VMs), as well as bare-metal offerings from Cray.

Microsoft booth presentations and topics include:

  • How to achieve high-performance computing on Azure
  • Cray Supercomputing on Azure
  • Cray ClusterStor on Azure with H-Series VMs
  • AI and HPC with NVIDIA
  • Autonomous driving
  • Live demos
  • Case studies from partners and customers
  • More about our recently launched HB and HC virtual machines

To learn more, please come by the Microsoft booth, K-530, and say “hello” on June 17 and June 19.

Microsoft, AMD, and Cray breakfast at ISC

Please join us for a co-hosted breakfast with Microsoft, AMD, and Cray on June 19, 2019 where we will discuss how to successful support your large scale HPC jobs in the cloud. In this session we will discuss our recently launched offers with Cray in Azure, as well as the Azure HB-series VMs optimized for applications driven by memory bandwidth, all powered by AMD EPYC processors. The breakfast is at the Frankfurt Marriott in Gold I-III (1st Floor) from 7:45 AM – 9:00 AM. Please feel free to register for this event.

Supercomputing in the cloud

Building on our strong relationship with Cray, we’re excited to showcase our three new dedicated offerings at ISC. We look forward to showcasing our accelerated innovation and delivery of next generation HPC and AI technologies to Azure customers.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at ISC.
