The European meeting for Experts in Digital technologies

Simulation . HPC/HPDA . Artificial Intelligence . Quantum Computing

The Workshop and Conference programs will be announced on April 1st, 2022.

ISC High Performance is focused on bringing the most critical developments and trends in HPC, machine learning, and high performance data analytics to conference attendees. Be it the conference program or the exhibition, the emphasis is on how to successfully apply these technologies in science, engineering and commerce.

The HPC landscape is changing to the demands of industry and science. As an event, ISC High Performance acknowledges and caters this change by bringing together HPC practitioners, users, and vendors to engage in discussions on technologies that didn’t seem possible a short time ago.

As a community we are TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE!

Two CoEs PerMedCoE as well as CompBioMed will participate in Expert Panel. Mariano Vazquez from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) will participate in the expert panel titled “Biomedical platforms” on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 from 13-14h CEST as part of the MEDICAL Health IT Forum, that will be held in Düsseldorf (Germany) from 15-18 November 2021. The panel has numerous IT medical experts and is moderated by Prof. Dr. Christoph Brochhausen-Delius, University of Regensburg, Faculty of Medicine, Institute for Pathology. See the full panel experts here:

  • Alexander van der Mey, CEO, Healex GmbH
  • Pierre Cholet, Head of Business Development – Europe, Decentriq
  • Dr. Philipp Mann, Senior Alliance Manager, Owkin
  • Mariano Vazquez, Research Group Leader, Barcelona Supercomputing Center BSC-CNS (virtual speaker)
  • Georges de Feu, CEO, LynxCare

 

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the future, decarbonized energy ecosystem will rely heavily on extreme computing and data technologies to drive essential innovations in production and storage technologies, mitigate power source variability and manage its distribution via a complex hierarchy of macro- and micro-networks. The drive towards Exascale computing over the next 5-10 years will enable significant step changes in the predictability and management of renewables as their share of the energy mix increases towards 100%.

EoCoE, MaX, HiDALGO, HVL, and FocusCoE are collaborating to deliver this talk at the Networking Village at EUSEW, on 26 October from 10:30 to 11:00 CEST. This talk aims to attract both senior academics and industrial stakeholders in the energy sector. It addresses topics such as planning for energy production from renewable sources, materials design for energy applications and technologies for solving complex systems. There is a large untapped potential in the use of HPC and Big Data as well as valuable expertise in this field in Europe. This potential remains unexploited by stakeholders partly because of lack of awareness on the technological benefits and partly because of lack of access to suitable expertise and skills. This talk sheds light to the current state of technology advancements and possibilities for HPC infrastructure access.

You can register for EUSEW for free, which is taking place virtually on 25-29 October 2021, under the theme ‘Towards 2030: Reshaping the European Energy System’. The event will comprise a 3-day digital Policy Conference, the EUSEW Awards, the second European Youth Energy Day as well as 1:1 video meetings, virtual stands and other networking activities. Participants will also have access to online side events and Sustainable Energy Days, digital events taking place all over Europe.

The EuroHPC Summit Week 2022 will take place from 22 to 24 March in Paris, France. The conference will be hosted by GENCI, the French HPC agency, and organised by PRACE, the HPC-GIG project and ETP4HPC.

On Tuesday 22 March 2022 from 16:30 until 18:00h, FocusCoE project will host a session titled “European HPC CoEs: perspectives for a healthy HPC application eco-system and Exascale” involving 12 of 15 European Centers of Excellence or CoEs. The session will discuss the key role of CoEs in the EuroHPC application pillar, focussing on their impact for building a vibrant, healthy HPC application eco-system and on perspectives for Exascale applications.

The AI Web Café provides the users with possibilities to participate virtually in live sessions with experts on specific AI domain or areas of interests. FocusCoE project will participate with the following three CoEs: RAISE, CoeC, and HiDALGO. 

This session aims to bring together the Centers of Excellence in AI sectors to explain how HPC technologies can help AI. Several case studies will be presented on how AI is leveraging HPC technologies to solve real-live problems. Opportunities and challenges in the AI sector will be discussed, how the Centres of Excellence can help to tackle them thanks to HPC technologies and which opportunities are emerging. It is a good opportunity to get a common understanding of the ongoing activities within the different CoEs and foster collaboration opportunities, including education and training offered by Centres of Excellence.

Agenda

1.  FocusCoE Introduction

2.  CoEs

  • CoE RAISE – AI in Scientific Workflows on High-Performance Computers (Andreas Linterman) – 15 min

The presentation will provide an overview of the challenges tackled by CoE RAISE and bring examples from two use cases with simulation and data-processing background.

  • CoEC – AI for future energy system  (Temistocle Grenga) – 15 min

The presentation will provide an overview of CoEC and to show how AI is allowing to overcome problems from scientific applications that were not possible to attack with a theoretical models

  • HiDALGO – Generating directed Social Network Graphs (Christoph Schweimer) – 15 min.

The Social Networks (SN) Use Case in the HiDALGO project simulates the spread of information in SN such as Facebook or Twitter. Since the user data in these networks is highly sensitive and must be carefully taken care of, we developed a method to synthesize social network graphs, replicating several topological and algorithmic graph features on which information dissemination can be simulated.
