JSC @ Supercomputing Conference SC'14

16-21 November 2014
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

SC14, the premier international exhibition and conference on high-performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis, will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, from 16 to 21 November 2014, where JSC will present its supercomputing activities at booth #639. JSC staff will demonstrate scientific simulations on supercomputers and the supercomputing tools LLView, Scalasca, Sionlib, and UNICORE, all developed in-house. JSC's activities in current European supercomputing activities will also be showcased, particularly its involvement in the Human Brain Project. The HPC section of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA-HPC) is a guest at JSC's booth and will present its projects on visualizing complex data, in particular of neural networks and brain regions.

JSC staff will also be on hand continuously at the joint booth of the European Exascale Projects (#1039), and at the PRACE booth (#2215). As part of the conference programme, JSC staff will give tutorials on "Hands-On Practical Hybrid Parallel Application Performance Engineering" and "Debugging and Performance Tools for MPI and OpenMP 4.0 Applications for CPU and Accelerators/Coprocessors", present talks, and participate in numerous special interest group sessions.
