The 18th JLESC Workshop gathers 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 Center for Computational Science as well as the JLESC Fellows to explore the most recent and critical issues in advancing the field of HPC from petascale to the extreme scale and AI era.

The workshop will feature short talk and break-out sessions on these seven central topics

• Artificial intelligence
• Big Data, I/O and in-situ visualization
• Numerical methods and algorithms
• Resilience
• Performance tools
• Programming Languages
• Advanced architectures
• Quantum computing

A key objective of the workshop is to foster the existing collaborations and inform the workshop attendees of their respective progress, as well as identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.
The workshop is open to all participants from the JLESC institutions Illinois, INRIA, ANL, BSC, JSC, and R-CCS; faculties, researchers, engineers and students who want to learn more about extreme-scale computing, the interplay of AI and HPC as well as hybrid HPC-quantum computing.
