NOVEMBER 14-17, 2022 — SAGE3™ Team members announced the release of the SAGE3 beta version at the IEEE/ACM Supercomputing 2022 (SC22) conference, held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, USA, November 14-18, 2022. Team members from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s (UHM) Laboratory for Advanced Visualization & Applications, University of Illinois Chicago’s (UIC) Electronic Visualization Laboratory, and Virginia Polytech University’s (VT) Sanghani Center for AI and Data Analytics were involved in several tech transfer activities, notably research demonstrations in the SC22 Exhibition hall and a Birds of a Feather (BOF) meeting. And, we were joined by our close partner institution, Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).

SAGE3 Software (beta release) and Documentation are available on the SAGE3 website. https://sage3.sagecommons.org/

Note: Several long-time users have asked when server and client code will be released. Our roadmap targets February 1, 2023 for the SAGE3 Server release and March 1, 2023 for source code release. More information will be forthcoming.
