You are invited to prepare an extended abstract to be considered for presentation at the 2020 Oil & Gas HPC Conference hosted by the Ken Kennedy Institute at Rice University. The conference is the premier meeting place for HPC users and participants to engage in conversations about challenges and opportunities in high performance computing, computational science and engineering, and data science across the energy industry. Attended by more than 500 leaders and experts from the energy industry, academia, national labs, and IT industry, this is a unique annual opportunity for key stakeholders to engage and network to help advance HPC in the industry. Computation, data, and information technology continue to stand out across the energy industry as critical business enablers. Recent advances in machine learning, deep learning, robotics and AI are emerging, and there is convergence between these emerging areas and HPC. With the end of Moore's law, challenges are mounting around a rapidly changing technology landscape. However, the end of one era is also an opportunity for advancements and the beginning of a new era – a renaissance for system architectures highlights the need for investments in people (workforce), algorithms, software innovations, and hardware platforms to support system scalability and demands for increasing digitization across the oil and gas sector.
