PRACE Announces SC10 Participation


Sept. 15 -- PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, takes part in SC10 (Supercomputing 2010) conference on November 13–19, 2010. The 23th Supercomputing conference is held this year in New Orleans, La.

PRACE participates in the SC10 exhibition together with DEISA, the Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications, at booth number 4021. PRACE members will present the current and future services of PRACE and answer your questions. You are cordially invited to visit the booth. Take part in the PRACE / DEISA treasure hunt to win an iPod Touch. Winners are drawn daily.

The PRACE BoF at SC10 "PRACE – The European HPC infrastructure" created together with DEISA, takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 17 from 12.15-1:30 p.m. in room 389. The session will present the latest news about the PRACE RI. It covers the current status and the future plans; the results to be expected during the EC funded implementation projects, the integration of services currently provided by DEISA within the European HPC ecosystem, and collaboration opportunities for academia and industry.

BoF Agenda

  • PRACE – The pan-European HPC Research Infrastructure (Thomas Eickermann, FZJ)
  • PRACE services and access to resources (Ana Bela Dias, NCF)
  • DEISA services in the European HPC ecosystem (Johannes Reetz, RZG)
  • Collaboration with academia and industry (Stéphane Requena, GENCI)

The session is led by Dietmar Erwin, FZJ.

About PRACE

The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) is an international nonprofit association with its seat in Brussels. The PRACE Research Infrastructure (RI) provides a persistent world-class high performance computing (HPC) service for scientists and researchers from academia and industry. The PRACE leadership systems form the apex of the performance pyramid and are well integrated into the European HPC ecosystem. The preparation and implementation of the PRACE RI receive EC funding under grants RI-211528 and FP7-261557. www.prace-project.eu.

About DEISA

In EU FP7, the DEISA Consortium has continued to support and further develop the distributed high performance computing infrastructure and its services through the DEISA2 project funded for another three years until spring 2011 (Contract RI 222919). Activities and services relevant for applications enabling, operation, and technologies have been continued and further enhanced, as these are indispensable for the effective support of computational sciences in the HPC area.

Supercomputers: Not Always the Best for Big Data

Jun 18, 2013 | The world's largest supercomputers, like Tianhe-2, are great at traditional, compute-intensive HPC workloads, such as simulating atomic decay or modeling tornados. But data-intensive applications--such as mining big data sets for connections--is a different sort of workload, and runs best on a different sort of computer.
