I would like to welcome you to the Russian Supercomputing Days Conference. It has been my pleasure to be able to participate in a number of Russian Supercomputing Days Conferences and have always found them stimulating. The program appears to oer an exciting look at the state of the art in supercomputing and horizons for the future. I’m sure the conference will provide for an exciting discussions and open new avenues for future research and collaboration. With my best wishes for a successful conference.

The Russian Supercomputing Days forum inaugurates a new environment of exchange among the rapidly emerging Russian HPC academic and industry and the international supercomputing community. It provides a dynamic environment for in-depth collegial discussions on premiere current practices and state-of-the-art future research directions. Russian Supercomputing Days is becoming one of my must-attend annual meetings.

Supercomputer Days is one of the premier form for the HPC community to present the state-of-the-art in the eld, exchange research ideas, share the experiences, and explore future directions. I am always stimulated and enjoy this wonderful event every year!

It is a pleasure to see this event to continue and prosper. Russia, the Russian Academy of Science and MSU have a long tradition of accomplishments in HPC. I am sure that, as in other occasions in which I had the honour and pleasure to attend, this year as well, it will be a great success and the opportunity for the international HPC community to discuss the latest trends and review the status of the art in the eld. Wish you all the best and long life to the Russian Supercomputing Days.
