Intel Offering Multiple SC ’16 Opportunities for Discovery

October 17, 2016

At SC ’16, Intel offers a number of opportunities to fuel your insight.

Intel® Community Hub

The Intel Community Hub in Intel booth #1819 is where the supercomputing community will gather to hear the latest from international HPC luminaries on issues that matter to our community and suggested by HPC press and analysts.

A sampling from the three days of presentations includes:

  • The future of Exascale, neuromorphic computing and AI
  • CPUs vs GPUs
  • Architecting with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)
  • Updates on current and future top supercomputers from Argonne, LANL, LLNL, TACC and more
  • Advances in Precision Medicine
  • Beyond Traditional HPC
  • Code Modernization insights from the Intel Parallel Computing Centers
  • Author signings of free copies of the Intel Xeon Phi processor edition of Parallelism Pearls for Multicore and Many-core Programming

Get details and download calendar notices on the Intel SC ’16 web site.

Win a free Fossil smart watch! Intel Community Hub attendees will be eligible to participate in the giveaway of a watch to be awarded after each presentation.

Life Science demonstrations

Demos in the Intel booth will show how Intel innovations are transforming key steps of the drug development pipeline for cancer and other diseases. Running on an Intel® Scalable System Framework certified cluster, these demos illustrate life science challenges ranging from structural biology to genome analytics. The demos show diverse workloads, including deep learning, big data analytics, modeling and simulation, and visualization.

Intel® Learning Zone

Want to talk to an Intel technologist about compute, fabric, memory or storage? The experts—and nothing against the marketing folks, but we are talking about the real HPC technology geeks—will be offering focused mini-presentations and doing hands-on demos to help you learn how to further optimize your core applications. Check the Intel SC ’16 web site for the Intel Learning Zone schedule.

Intel® Discovery Zone

Learn more about our accelerator solutions with demos highlighting the performance of Intel technology-based solutions without a GPU. Demonstrations will include showing how flexible, energy efficient FPGAs can boost performance for a range of HPC workloads, and how the latest Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors deliver leading highly-parallel performance while benefiting from the ease of development on the industry’s most widely used programming models.

Intel® HPC Developer Conference

Developers who want to accelerate applications, future-proof their code, and gain deeper insights, should check out the 2016 Intel® HPC Developer Conference held the weekend before SC ’16. Join HPC industry leaders and Intel experts for this free event to get technical and hands-on knowledge, learn from case studies and real world examples, and gain insights about future technologies. Get details and register for the Intel® HPC Developer Conference.

Fellow Traveler Tours

Do you want to get an overview of SC ’16 exhibits? Stop by the Intel both to reserve your spot on one of our popular guided tours. Or, take advantage of one of our interactive, self-guided tours on your own device that will highlight the latest technologies and offerings from various companies.

Technical Session Schedule

While at SC16, don’t miss attending Intel’s technical sessions. Click on the schedule to explore the many available sessions over the four days that include tutorials, workshops, posters, panels, papers, and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions.

Check the technical session schedule and join us!

Intel Channel Pavilion

If you’re looking for performance, flexibility, cost-savings, or space-savings, you’ll find one of our partners with the kind of solution you need. Find Intel® Technology Providers demonstrating twelve applications of (almost all) Intel HPC technologies over the course of the show at the Intel Channel Pavilion.

Celebrate with Us

At Intel, we love to celebrate and at SC ’16 there are a couple of opportunities for you to join us. On Monday night we’ll have a special reception and announcement in our booth during the Exhibition Opening Gala. Then on Wednesday afternoon, join us for the “I survived SC ‘16” celebration. You can download calendar invites for both of these events on the Intel SC ’16 web site.
