Accelerated Data Analytics and Computing Institute (ADAC)
Purpose
The Accelerated Data Analytics and Computing Institute has been established to explore collaboration among participating providers of public HPC infrastructure across the world, like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH/CSCS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre, and many more. Consistent with their respective missions, the participants seek to collaborate and leverage their respective investments in application software readiness in order to expand the breadth of applications capable of running on accelerated architectures. The ADAC organizations manage HPC centers that run large, GPU-accelerated supercomputers and provide key HPC capabilities to academia, government, and industry to solve many of the world’s most complex and pressing scientific problems.
Focus Areas & Working Groups
ADAC focuses on multiple objectives spanning performance, hardware, and applications, including:
- Adapting important scientific and engineering applications to hybrid accelerated architectures.
- Partnering with HPC vendors to evaluate architecture diversity.
- Enabling collaborative scientific efforts in hybrid accelerated data and compute.
- Ensuring sustainability and portability of critical applications.
- Promoting energy efficiency of scientific applications, system software, and facility operations.
- Sharing best practices regarding the operation, management, and procurement of HPC resources.
ADAC is organized into the following working groups:
- Applications & Benchmarks
- Portability, Sustainability & Integration
- Federated Learning & AI
- Quantum Computing
- System Management
- Training, Outreach & Workforce Development
