Policies

SIGHPC believes that HPC can only reach its full potential through the efforts of people from all backgrounds, organizations, and disciplines. The organizers of all SIGHPC-related activities are asked to:

    • structure their committees to include diverse backgrounds and opinions
    • establish rigorously fair review/selection processes to ensure there is no explicit or implicit bias against newcomers
    • choose speaker lineups that include diverse representation
    • track their progress in improving diversity by gathering and disseminating statistics on the gender/geographical/organizational makeup of committees, reviewers, authors, and speakers
