About

In the context of the cooperation with Microsoft the Center for Computing and Communication of the RWTH Aachen University wants to establish a Windows HPC User Group for the German-speaking countries as a platform for information exchange among Windows HPC users, as well as for the interaction between users and Microsoft. Since 2008 a two days meeting is organized in Spring at changing locations.
