Nov. 12, 2021 — Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will present virtually next week at SC21, the international conference for high-performance computing (HPC), networking, storage, and analysis being held in St. Louis, Mo. A full list of presenters and topics are available at pnnl.gov. Sessions of interest include:
- A presentation by PNNL researchers Ruigin Tian, Luanzheng Guo, and Gokcen Kestor on a new, proposed tensor algebra domain-specific language (DSL) and compiler framework. Tensor algebra is used in physics to solve problems in mechanics, electrodynamics, general relativity, and other related areas. The proposed DSL automatically generates kernels for mixed sparse-dense tensor algebra operations, outperforming current tensor algebra compilers. The team will present their findings on Sunday, November 14, at 3:30 p.m. CST.
- A virtual presentation by Sayan Ghosh at the Department of Energy’s SC21 booth on Tuesday, November 16, at 10:45 a.m. CST. Ghosh will present on graph neighborhood communication patterns. He and his team built benchmarks and conducted performance analyses of graph neighborhood communication on modern large-scale network interconnects from four supercomputers. Their findings could improve graph algorithms used in scientific computing and analytics workflows.
- A workshop co-organized by PNNL researcher Vinay Amatya on using HPC to assist with making urgent decisions in the wake of natural disasters, pandemics, and time-sensitive societal issues. The workshop examines combining high velocity data and live analytics with HPC models to aid in responding to calamities, to save lives, and to reduce economic loss. The workshop will be held on Friday, November 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CST.
We look forward to virtually seeing you at the conference.
