Earlier this year we had teamed up with other Women in HPC members to organize a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session named “Super(computing)heroes” for ISC24. It was fun and insightful, and panelists and participants really enjoyed it – so we’re doing it again at SC24!

This blog post summarises the insightful panel discussion that took place during the Birds of a Feather (BoF) session „Super(computing)heroes“ at ISC24 on 14 May 2024. The session featured a panel of distinguished women in high-performance computing (HPC) who shared their experiences, challenges, and visions for the future of HPC. The motivation of this panel session was to inspire and empower, in particular, young women in HPC by providing role models, challenging stereotypes, and celebrating successes. By joining this session, participants could engage with accomplished women in HPC, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. Below are the main points and aspects of HPC that were discussed. The session attendees had the choice of questions, steering the discussion to the topics of their highest interest.
