Event Calendar

We are pleased to present to the European CoE community the first Workshop on Software Co-Design Actions in European Flagship HPC Codes scheduled in conjunction with ISC High Performance (ISC) on June 2^nd in Hamburg, Germany. Organised by FocusCoE, SiPearl, Arm Ltd and NVIDIA, this workshop focuses specifically on software co-design actions applied to production-grade community-wide European flagship HPC applications. Scientists representing MaX, EoCoE, POP, BioExcel, TREX, and RAISE Centres of Excellence will share their experiences and lessons learnt in software co-design, which remains a ‘must-do’ to address a complex and dynamic HPC technology landscape with a rich portfolio of choices across CPU architectures and accelerators.

We encourage any in-person participants of ISC to attend the workshop live!
