About MUG 2026

The MVAPICH User Group Conference 2026 (MUG '26) runs August 17–19, 2026 at Ohio State University and the Ohio Supercomputer Center in Columbus, Ohio. It is a small technical meeting of roughly 100–200 participants, run in hybrid format.

Who should attend

The audience is MPI and interconnect developers, HPC center staff, and academic HPC researchers.

Why it matters

MVAPICH underpins communication on many academic and national laboratory clusters, so the meeting bears directly on how large HPC and AI jobs move data between nodes. Its influence within the HPC middleware community is out of proportion to its size.
