Started in 2011, the Mont-Blanc project leverages the fast growing market of mobile technology for scientific computation. During the project, several ARM-based computational platforms have been deployed and configured as production systems for HPC. Also, a complete software stack has been developed and consolidate in order to allow the execution of most complex parallel codes. The Mont-Blanc project have paved the way for enabling ARM in HPC and with this event the Mont-Blanc project wants to promote and encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledges among all the major players that contributes to make ARM-based scientific computing a reality.
- Get a comprehensive view of the ARM-based platforms available on the market.
- Understand and promote the current coverage of the ARM system software ecosystem.
- Discover the contributions of the biggest players that are contributing in making ARM technology key for the future of HPC and datacenters.
- Create connections among scientists, technologists, engineers and companies gravitating around emerging technologies for scientific computing.

Target Audience
- ARM SoC manufacturers, integrators and providers - The privileged position gained by the Mont-Blanc project during these 5 years of activity allows to gather, besides the industrial project partners ARM and Bull, several industrial players that have shown increasing interest in the ideas of the Mont-Blanc project.
- End-Users - Members of the Mont-Blanc End-User Group as well es other companies that have shown their interest during the Mont-Blanc project in testing the ARM based solutions deployed in the past 5 years.
- Academic and research entities - Starting from the Mont-Blanc partners, the event will involve other H2020 projects adopting ARM as compute platform, PRACE members, data centers and universities.

How to get to Aula Master from the airport?
By Taxi
Barcelona taxis (yellow & black) are available at the arrival terminals. A taxi ride to Campus Nord costs around 25 € (ask in advance the taxi driver if you plan to pay with credit card).
By underground
If you arrive to the Airport of Barcelona, Terminal 1 or 2, take the underground signs towards L9S and drop off on station “Zona Universitaria”. From there you have a walking distance of 6 minutes to the “Aula Master” venue. More information here.
By Bus (Aerobus)
- Airport stops: Bus stops at Terminal T1 and T2 (A, B, C)
- Downtown stops: This line ends at Plaça Catalunya (city center). Once there, you may take L3 of the underground to "Palau Reial" or "Zona Universitària" stations.
- Timetable: From Plaça Catalunya 05:00 to 00:30 every 10 minutes. From the Airport 06:05 to 01:05 every 10 minutes
- Tickets are purchased in the bus. A return ticket costs 10,20€
