SC23: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis drew record attendance of more than 14,000 people to Denver, Colorado, November 12–17, 2023.

The centerpiece of NASA’s SC23 participation was a 30- by 50-foot research exhibit — one of a record 438 exhibits — featuring 42 research projects presented in hyperwall and large-screen theaters, at demonstration stands, and online. The projects cut across the themes of Aeronautics, Human Space Flight, Our Planet, Supercomputing, and The Universe.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center had 12 research projects presented by scientists and technologists from the Computational and Information Sciences and Technology (CISTO), CISTO’s NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) and Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS), and the Sciences and Exploration Directorate’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) and Planetary Environments Laboratory.
