The first five years of the NSF-funded XSEDE project culminated in an exciting and enlightening week’s worth of technical talks and presentations about high-performance computing (HPC) services and resources. The conference where these were showcased also gave underrepresented groups an opportunity to be exposed to HPC and a plethora of experts in nearly every field of research. The XSEDE16 Conference was held in Miami, July 17-21, at the Intercontinental Miami hotel. The fifth annual conference showcased the discoveries, innovations, challenges and achievements of those who use and support XSEDE resources and services, as well as other digital resources and services throughout the world, like supercomputers and support from leading researchers and cyberinfrastructure experts. This year’s conference saw approximately 570 attendees, including nearly 100 students from around the country, with nearly half of them coming from minority-serving institutions.
