Women in HPC Around the World
SESSION: Women in HPC Around the World
EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather
TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00PM
SESSION LEADER(S):Rebecca Hartman-Baker, Fernanda Foertter, Yashema Mack
ROOM:507
ABSTRACT:
Although women comprise more than half the world's population, they make up only a small percentage of people in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, including the many disciplines associated with high-performance computing (HPC). There are numerous systemic causes of women's low participation in STEM fields, which differ very little across the globe. In this BOF we bring together women from different continents to share their stories and experiences and determine ways that we can boost the number of women around the globe enjoying the unique challenges and rewards of a career in HPC.
