ISC High Performance conference and exhibition
date: 12/07/2015 - 16/07/2015
venue: Frankfurt (Germany)
Highlights of the programme (Full program of the ISC High Performance event):
- Highlights from Europe's Horizon 2020 session: Monday 13 July (4:00- 5:00 pm)
This session will provide detailed information on the current status and perspectives for High-Performance Computing in Horizon 2020. The first presentation will provide an overview of the current and future HPC-related funding opportunities under the European H2020 programme including the outcomes of recent HPC calls for proposals. The main part of the session will provide a sneak preview of key European actions in HPC research and innovation.
- Full day workshop organised by the EC funded exascale projects (Booth #634): "Is Europe Ready For Exascale? A Summary of Four Years of European Exascale Research" Thursday 16 July
Four years into European Exascale research, this is a timely question to ask. The six European Commission (EC) funded projects in this research area want to pause, recap and discuss this question with a European and international Exascale community thus contributing to some of ISC’15 key topics. In this full-day workshop the projects elaborate on their results, the challenges faced, the insights gained and debate intensively what it takes for Europe to compete in the race towards Exascale.
- Full day workshop organised by Exa2Gren project: "Power & Energy-Aware High Performance Computing on Emerging Technology" Thursday 16 July
Caught between the continuous technological advances and the global efforts for greener IT, power consumption of modern high performance computing systems has become a major challenge on the road to exascale computing. This workshop focuses on new energy-aware computing paradigms and programming methodologies to address the problem of prohibitive power consumption by current hardware when extrapolating to exascale machines. The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists and engineers from academia and industry with interests in energy-efficient computing.
