BSC at 5th JLESC Workshop

23 June 2016

A key objective of the workshop is to identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.

A group of BSC researchers will participate in the 5th JLESC Workshop, among those Jesús Labarta, Computer Sciences Director. The Joint Laboratory on Extreme Scale Computing (JLESC) Workshop will take place at ENS-Lyon from 27 to 29 June 2016 and will gather top researchers in HPC from INRIA, the University of Illinois, Argonne National Laboratory, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Jülich Supercomputing Centre and Riken-AICS to explore research problems related to post-Petascale / Exascale Supercomputers and present early results of their joint work.

See below the list of talks that will be given by BSC researchers:

The workshop will feature technical sessions on five main topics:

  • Application and Numerical libraries
  • Parallel Programming, runtime and tools
  • Resilience
  • Big Data, I/O and visualization
  • Cloud for HPC.

This will be the fifth edition of this workshop series after Sophia-Antipolis (2014), Chicago (2014), Barcelona (2015) and Bonn (2015).

The workshop will present a program with papers accepted or submitted to top level conferences. A key objective of the workshop is to identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.

The workshop is open to Illinois, INRIA, ANL, BSC, JSC and Riken AICS faculties, researchers, engineers and students who want to learn more about Post Petascale / Exascale Computing.

This workshop is supported by the PUF in the context of the NEXTGN project.

Registration will take place at http://jlesc2016.sciencesconf.org.

About JLESC

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, INRIA, the French national computer science institute, Argonne National Laboratory, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Jülich Supercomputing Centre and the Riken Advanced Institute for Computational Science formed the Joint Laboratory on Extreme Scale Computing, a follow-up of the Inria-Illinois Joint Laboratory for Petascale Computing. The Joint Laboratory is based at Illinois and includes researchers from INRIA, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, ANL, BSC and JSC. It focuses on software challenges found in extreme scale high-performance computers.

Research areas include:

  • Scientific applications (big compute and big data) that are the drivers of the research in the other topics of the joint-laboratory.
  • Modeling and optimizing numerical libraries, which are at the heart of many scientific applications.
  • Novel programming models and runtime systems, which allow scientific applications to be updated or reimagined to take full advantage of extreme-scale supercomputers.
  • Resilience and Fault-tolerance research, which reduces the negative impact when processors, disk drives, or memory fail in supercomputers that have tens or hundreds of thousands of those components.
  • I/O and visualization, which are important part of parallel execution for numerical simulations and data analytics
  • HPC Clouds, that may execute a portion of the HPC workload in the near future.
