4th JLESC Workshop
The workshop gathered leading researchers in high-performance computing from the JLESC partners INRIA, the University of Illinois, Argonne National Laboratory, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Jülich Supercomputing Centre and RIKEN AICS to explore the most recent and critical issues in advancing the field of HPC from petascale to the extreme scale era.
The workshop featured sessions on these five central topics:
- Applications and mini-apps, with a special focus on (but not limited to) molecular dynamics
- Parallel Programming, runtime and tools
- Resilience
- Big Data, I/O and visualization
- Numerical methods and algorithms
The key objective of the workshop is to identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.
The event is open to researchers and students from the JLESC partner institutions who want to learn more about post-petascale and exascale computing on the cutting edge.

Venue
The workshop will take place at the Gustav-Stresemann-Institut in Bonn (GSI Bonn).
The participants will stay directly at the GSI. The corresponding arrangements will be made by the organizers.
Please refrain from making individual room reservations. Only when using our block hotel reservation, the accommodation costs are covered by the workshop fees.
The GSI’s European Institute for Conferences and Professional Training in Bonn is an independent, non-partisan and non-profit-making establishment for political education.
Recognised in this capacity by the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the GSI organises conferences and symposia, congresses, workshops and seminars on a wide range of subjects. The Gustav-Stresemann-Institut is situated in a large, quiet park estate – and yet in the middle of the new federal quarter of Bonn, in the centre of the flourishing conference and service city.
