13th JLESC workshop (online)


13th JLESC Workshop

Objectives 

The workshop gathers leading researchers in high-performance computing from the JLESC partners INRIA, the University of Illinois, Argonne National Laboratory, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, RIKEN R-CCS and The University of Tennessee to explore the most recent and critical issues in advancing the field of HPC from petascale to the extreme scale era.

The workshop will feature sessions on these eight central topics:

  • Applications and mini-apps
  • Parallel Programming models and runtime
  • Performance tools
  • Resilience
  • Big Data, I/O and in-situ visualization
  • Numerical methods and algorithms
  • Advanced architectures
  • Artificial Intelligence

In addition to these tracks, dedicated sessions targetting more specialized scientific domains are planned. The target domains change for each meeting depending on the needs and interests of the JLESC community. For this meeting the target domains are computational fluid dynamics, computational biology and climate/weather research.

A key objective of the workshop is to identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.

The workshop is open to all participants from the JLESC institutions Illinois, INRIA, ANL, BSC, JSC, Riken R-CCS and UTK; faculties, researchers, engineers and students who want to learn more about Post-Petascale / Pre-Exascale Computing.

Location/venue

For safety reasons, the 13th JLESC workshop will again be held online, using technologies such as Zoom and Slack. However, unlike prior events, no Gather.town support will be available. Some notes concerning the event:
  • All sessions will be held using Zoom rooms.
  • All round table discussions will be held in breakout room. Participants will be able to join the breakout room of their interest by simply connecting to the correct Zoom breakout room.
  • Make sure you have access to the JLESC Slack workspace (access to Slack is restricted to participants from JLESC member institutions)
  • Using Slack, we will provide most up-to-date information and here you can contact us directly in case you have any questions or problems.
  • There is at least one staff member in each session room who can help you navigate or enter/exit the sessions. In addition, there is a help desk in the Lobby. You can also contact us at the #help channel on Slack or directly on the map. As a last resort, you can of course write us an email at any time.
  • Please monitor the Slack #announcements channel and your emails closely for updated information.
