Cray is now a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company. As a result of the acquisition, CUG is happy to welcome HPE Apollo customers to join the organization and participate in the Cray User Group special interest groups and conference events.
Who We Are
The Cray User Group is an independent, international corporation of member organizations that in the past owned Cray Inc. computer systems. With the acquisition of Cray by HPE in 2019 the participating organizations was expanded to include owners of both select HPE and Cray systems. Founded in 1978, CUG was established to facilitate collaboration and information exchange in the high-performance computing (HPC) community. We assist our members in achieving their business and research objectives by providing opportunities to share and discover ideas, solutions, and developments in the effective use of computational tools.
Meetings of the Minds
As an employee or user of a CUG site, you will be invited to attend exclusive conferences and workshops all over the world. These events feature insightful presentations by HPC experts, as well as valuable technical sessions, tutorials, and demonstrations. They also facilitate member discussions around current experiences, projected trends, and productive collaboration opportunities with sessions led by special interest group leaders and other members of the Cray User Group. Although CUG operates independently of Cray Inc. and HPE, you will benefit from Cray and HPE expertise at our conferences and workshops. Cray and HPE send technical, management, and executive representatives to these events to share information and learn of our members’ needs.
Other Benefits
In addition to our annual conferences and topical workshops, as a CUG member you will have access to:
- CUG publications, including our newsletter, conference proceedings, and the CUG Handbook
- CUG Site List, which provides contact information of members who are willing to exchange ideas and experiences on a number of computing issues
- e-mail reflectors, used for reporting technical problems, sharing solutions, and contributing relevant announcements or queries.
