Abstract:
The purpose of this BOF is to allow HPC Centers' staff (NSF, DOE, DOD, and others from USA and around the world), including front-line support, system administrators, and managers an opportunity to discuss and share common problems and concerns. Attendees should expect to share, discuss and compare Best Practices in order to further the goals of HPC centers. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet their peers from different user facilities and discuss various topics such as issue tracking, account management, security, and documentation techniques. This BOF will be a benefit to anyone who is responsible for providing services to users of high performance computing resources.

This BOF will also provide an opportunity for participants to discuss the possibility of an HPC Centers' Panel at SC '08.
