JSC @ ISC High Performance '12

The International Supercomputing Conference ISC’12 took place from 17 June to 21 June 2012. JSC, together with its partners in the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), LRZ (Garching) and HLRS (Stuttgart), presented its wide-ranging supercomputing activities at the new GCS booth #150. In particular, JSC showcased LLview, the comprehensive interactive monitoring software for supercomputers developed in-house, in live demonstrations on supercomputers worldwide. A wide spectrum of scientific results obtained with its supercomputers JUGENE and JUROPA were exhibited in 2D and 3D presentation videos and animations. JSC staff gave several talks and tutorials and were also present at the PRACE (#134) and the UNICORE (#135) booths.
