EuroHPC JU at ISC High Performance 2024

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking participated in ISC High Performance 2024, which took place in Hamburg, Germany from 12-16 May 2024.

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) participated to ISC 2024 from 13-16 May 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. ISC is the largest forum in Europe for HPC, high performance data analytics and AI/machine learning. This annual event brings together the international HPC community, providers and users from industry, public institutions and research organisations.

The EuroHPC JU booth was located centrally in the exhibition hall and welcomed several hundreds of visitor, who engaged in discussions with staff on the upcoming EuroHPC activities and opportunities. 

The stand also featured a presentation corner, where all our EuroHPC projects and Hosting Entities presented their work throughout the three days.

Conference Participation:

The EuroHPC JU participated in several sessions during the ISC 2024 conference. In particular, the EuroHPC JU's Executive Director Anders Dam Jensen spoke in a session dedicated to EuroHPC on Tuesday 14th May 2024: EuroHPC - Recent Initiatives, News and Use Cases on Europe's Leading Supercomputers. 

He was joined on stage by Sergi Girona of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Kristel Michielsen from Julich Supercomputing Centre, and Ioan Hadade of ECMWF, who presented the Destination Earth Initiative.

The EuroHPC JU was well represented throughout the conference programme, with several EuroHPC JU colleagues taking part in sessions such as: 

  • European HPC Ecosystem - Updates and Gap Analysis
  • Super(computing) Heroes
  • Birds of a Feather: The missing 20%: Could the European HPC ecosystem supply and operate dedicated industrial-grade systems?
  • Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC) Accelerating AI for Science
  • Workshop on Readiness of HPC Extreme-scale Applications

If you were unable to attend ISC 2024 and would like to watch the main talks, you can still register for complimentary access to the recordings, here.
