IS26 - High performance computing in research and industry
High-performance computing (HPC) is today a key enabling technology for scientific
research and industrial development in a range of fields. It is, for example, applied in
virtual wind tunnels, in drug discovery, for climate modelling, or in material science.
Frequently, the computational models are based on differential equations, particle
systems, or deep neural networks, or combinations thereof. They are used to perform
experiments in a simulated environment that is becoming ever more realistic as
computational power and access to data grows. The increase of computational power
relies on the one hand on the integration of novel and efficient computing hardware into
current HPC systems, and on the other hand on the development of algorithms and
programming environments suited for massively parallel, scalable, and efficient
execution. In this session, we invite contributions in the field of HPC with a focus on
applied computational modelling and simulation, from the development of new numerical
methods, algorithms, and software, to the application of the technology in large-scale
simulations in research and industry. In this context, contributions which clearly show the
groundbreaking potential of HPC-based modelling in technology fields, showcasing how
decisive it can become in value chains, are sought.
