The 2021 CRNCH Virtual Summit was hosted as an online meeting over January 28th and 29th. Approximately 70 attendees joined a discussion that was centered around 2 keynotes and 15 short talks presented by experts in post-Moore computing at Georgia Tech and at collaborating institutions around the country.
All sessions were held in one main session, and talks were presented as a mix of live and prerecorded talks. Where we have been given permission, we have post these videos using GT hosting along with related slides from our CRNCH Github repo.
The student poster session was held using breakout rooms, and each student recorded a short lightning talk when can be found in this playlist.
