Often, scientists save data to portable media for analysis, increasing risks in reliability, scalability, and data sharing. Integration of networks and HPC to improve science workflows requires HPC user support groups and network organizations to closely collaborate, educating scientists on benefits of network-based technologies and tools to enable scientists to leverage the network. =0A=0AJoin this interactive BoF, led by ESnet, GÉANT, and Internet2, for networking experts, HPC user support teams, and scientists to engage in active dialogue to tackle current network challenges and begin to develop solutions.
