Attend the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium, May 12-14

Boise State welcomes the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium to campus for the 2026 Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium High Performance Computing Symposium, May 12-14. This event brings together researchers, system administrators, students and industry partners from across the intermountain region to advance high-performance computing.

The symposium opens with a keynote from Boise State's Associate Professor Steven Pentland on AI-resilient assessment in the age of generative AI, followed Wednesday by Idaho National Lab's Bryan Smith on computing infrastructure for next-generation nuclear energy.

Faculty and principal investigators will find sessions on applying AI to research workflows, fine-tuning language models, accelerating scientific discovery with computational tools, and a cross-discipline panel on how AI is transforming research. System administrators get sessions covering cluster provisioning, workload monitoring and alerting, software stack management, benchmarking on heterogeneous hardware, pipeline migration, dashboard tooling, and a dedicated meetup for trading operational knowledge with peers.

Students get hands-on experience that translates directly to employment - a deep learning workshop on multi-Graphics Processing Unit training (max 30 attendees); a career panel with hiring professionals from Amazon Web Services, INL and Omnibond; and a student poster competition.

Partner institutions can explore sessions on sovereign AI initiatives, community support for smaller schools, and multi-institutional workforce development.

Free registration is now available for Boise State students and faculty. Email [email protected] or [email protected] to register. Parking included.
