The Large Scale Analytics Foundation (LSAF) was founded in 2017 to advance the science and technology of large-scale data analytics. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, LSAF exists for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes, supporting the researchers, practitioners, and institutions working at the frontier of data-intensive computing.

LSAF hosts the Graph500 list, the first serious benchmark for graph analytics at scale, and starting in 2026, hosts the Conference on Large-scale Analytics, Science, Systems, and Intelligent Computing (CLASSIC, formerly CLSAC), which convenes experts from government, national laboratories, academia, and industry to tackle the hardest problems in large-scale analytics.
