SC25 ODA Birds of a Feather: Mind the Gap, Recap
The HPC Operational Data Analytics community held its annual Birds of a Feather session at SC25 in St. Louis, Missouri on November 20, 2025. This year’s session, “Operational Data Analytics: Mind the Gap,” brought together approximately 34 attendees (29 of whom engaged via Mentimeter) to explore a central question: how can we make operational data accessible to the stakeholders who need it most, while respecting privacy, security, and legal requirements?
