Extreme-scale Demonstrators Round-table

Exploiting the Potential of European HPC Stakeholders in Extreme-Scale Demonstrators

18th May 2017, 2-7pm,  Auditori - Vertex Building, Barcelona @ European HPC Summit Week

ETP4HPC, the European HPC Technology Platform, would like to continue the development of its Extreme-Scale Demonstrators (EsDs) concept through a discussion involving all European HPC stakeholders. The concept of European HPC system prototypes has been proposed by ETP4HPC and it is available at: http://www.etp4hpc.eu/en/esds.html. The EsDs are research projects aimed at integrating European HPC Technology and Application expertise into fully operational world-class HPC systems. This concept is included in our current EC Work Programme 2018-20 draft and forms the core of the further development of HPC technology in Europe.

The European Technology (FETHPC and other FP) projects, application owners (EXDCI WP3), the Centres of Excellence in Computing Applications (CoEs), technology providers, HPC centres/PRACE and  HPC System Integrators will play a pivotal role in this process.

The objective of this peer-to-peer Round-table workshop is to allow ALL STAKEHOLDERS to familiarise themselves with the potential of the European HPC Eco-system on an equal basis with a view to setting up consortia leading to successful EsD projects. It will provide an opportunity for a level-set and discussion before the EsD concept's publication in a WP18-20 call in autumn this year. Representatives of various stakeholder groups (FETHPC projects, application owners (EXDCI WP3), CoEs, integrators, technology providers, HPC centres/PRACE) participating in future EsD projects will have a chance to update one another and jointly develop a position regarding a set of critical project implementation aspects. Most importantly, the FETHPC projects currently under way should share their most likely contributions to the EsD projects. We expect each of the participating FETHPC projects, application owners (EXDCI WP3), CoEs, integrator companies, technology providers and HPC Centres/PRACE to send only ONE representative each.  

This workshop will be organised by ETP4HPC on behalf of EXDCI within the European HPC Summit Week: https://exdci.eu/events/european-hpc-summit-week-2017

We will also send an invitation and all the necessary information prior to the event. There will be a registration process in place through which we will ask you to confirm your attendance.

We are looking forward to working on this initiative with you.
