But there is another dimension to Large Scale OpenStack: using OpenStack to build supercomputers to use in research and HPC. In this episode, operators of OpenStack supercomputers and HPC centers will discuss the unique challenges this use case brings.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt;
