HPC in Africa is in its embryonic stage, and growth requires significant increases in resources. Challenges include increased investment in infrastructure, accompanied by increased scope and innovation in the basic STEM disciplines. The newly chartered Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing for Resource Constrained Environments (SIGHPC-RCE) provides a forum for industry, academics, and government entities for building partnerships, collaborations, and outreach initiatives towards addressing these challenges. We invite everyone interested in learning about and solving these problems to attend this session.
