Description

The “Future Trends in Nuclear Physics Computing” workshop was held on September 29 - October 1, 2020. In this workshop, the third of the series, we focussed on the Nuclear Physics Software & Computing community itself. We identified what is unique about our community and discussed how we could strengthen common efforts and chart a path for Software & Computing in Nuclear Physics for the next ten years.  

The "Future Trends in Nuclear Physics Computing" workshop is connected to the monthly "Software & Computing Round Table" that is jointly organized by Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The workshop was 'hosted' by Jefferson Lab and co-organized by Brookhaven and Jefferson Labs.

We provide detailed live notes. Recordings of the presentations and discussions are available and linked to the agenda. The password for watching the recordings is: NP.TRENDS20
