The ISC Project Poster is centered around the implementation and outcome of ongoing or emerging collaborative projects to share new developments, scientific research, and engineering activities in high performance computing and related domains.
Submissions for this track should focus on the goals, methodology, and preliminary work of a project. Whether your project is in its advanced stages or has recently started, this is your opportunity to outline its vision and get feedback from peers in the HPC community.
If your proposal focuses on research results, please consider the research poster track.

- Maximum file size: 10 MB
- Runtime of the project
- Participating partners
- Funding source
- As a guideline for the content, the following information is required:
- List of partners
- Pursued approach and methodology
- Current status of the project
- Excerpt of intermediate/preliminary results
- Roadmap, in particular, the next steps
Review Process
- Light-weight review to give many people the chance to present ideas and projects
- Criteria: required information filled, quality of the presentation, and relevance for attendees (see guidelines above)
- Committee feedback to improve submissions
