JSC @ ISC High Performance '17
The International Supercomputing Conference 2017 (ISC’17) took place from 18 to 22 June 2017 in Frankfurt am Main. JSC, together with its partners in the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) - HLRS (Stuttgart), and LRZ (Garching) - presented its wide-ranging supercomputing activities at the GCS booth (#1310). On this ISC, GCS celebrated its 10th anniversary with a Happy Hour at its booth on Tuesday, June 20, 16:00 - 18:00h. All partners and friends were invited.
JSC and its partner NVIDIA demonstrated an easy-to-use workflow from simulation data to virtual reality (VR) helping scientists to visualize their results in VR. JSC presented this powerful solution combining the visualization software ParaView and the VR system HTC Vive in a live demo. Furthermore, JSC showcased LLview, the comprehensive interactive monitoring software for supercomputers developed in-house. A wide spectrum of scientific results obtained with its supercomputers were exhibited in the form of videos and animations. Flyers presented information about JSC’s research and support activities as well as the HPC infrastructure provided to national and international scientists.
JSC staff co-organized the workshops "Experiences on Intel Knights Landing at the one-year mark" and the "Second International Workshop on OpenPOWER for HPC (IWOPH’17)". Furthermore, members of JSC spoke in the Birds-of-a-Feather sessions "POP Improves HPC Applications" and "Towards Addressing Exascale I/O Requirements & Challenges".
Additionally, they gave several presentations at the conference and will co-organize the tutorial "Hands-on Practical Hybrid Parallel Application Performance Engineering". Members of JSC were also on hand at the booths of PRACE (#1201), JARA (#1320) and UNICORE (#535).
