The HPC Continuum 2026 is a three-day International Scientific Conference addressing emerging trends in High-Performance Computing (HPC), specifically, the integration and interconnection of the new technologies currently enabling and accelerating seamless scaling, portability, and efficient use of computing resources, allowing applications and data to move smoothly to the most appropriate platform as computational needs change. Together, this conference will catalyse global collaboration across the HPC continuum field, shaping a shared vision for scalable, interoperable, and sustainable HPC worldwide. The conference will host the EUMaster4HPC Summer School, which complements the programme by enabling in-depth engagement with early career researchers, European HPC infrastructure experts, industry experts and brings together speakers from the EUMaster4HPC consortium, spanning top researchers from 23 countries in the HPC field, ensuring high academic standards at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing (QC), data-centric systems, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
