EuroHPC Summit Week 2022 / PRACEdays22

The EuroHPC Summit Week (EHPCSW) 2022 will gather the main European HPC stakeholders from technology suppliers and HPC infrastructures to scientific and industrial HPC users in Europe. As in previous years, PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, co-locates its Scientific and Industrial Conference (PRACEdays22) at the EuroHPC Summit Week 2022. Furthermore, the EHPCSW 2022 will provide a great opportunity for the attendees to network.

Videos of the plenary sessions can be watched on the PRACE YouTube channel.

The EuroHPC Summit Week 2022 including PRACEdays22 took place at:
Cité des Sciences et de L’Industrie
Paris (19th arrondissement)
https://www.cite-sciences.fr/en/home/

The main organisers of the EHPCSW 2022 are the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), and the European Technology Platform for High-Performance Computing (ETP4HPC). The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the European Commission (EC) are also involved in the organisation of the conference . The logistical organisation is supported by a local host: for the 2022 edition, this is GENCI (Grand équipement national de calcul intensif).

As in previous years, PRACEdays22 featured a Poster Session.
Poster Guidelines can be found here.
The poster Template can be found here.
 
Some of the highlights included:
  • Scientific keynote speeches by Dr Sylvie Joussaume, Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) on challenges in modelling climate change, Prof. George Em Karniadakis, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University on data-driven computing and Prof. Elham Kashefi, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh on quantum computing.
  • Several scientific parallel tracks covering climate change, data-driven computing, quantum computing, and other domains including COVID-19. The presentations within these sessions will address a variety of topics, such as open climate data for climate-proofing natural resources management, deploying scalable deep learning on HPC, simulating large quantum circuits with cloud computing, or using HPC to accelerate drug design.
  • Presentations and a discussion on EUMaster4HPC, the first pan-European Master programme in HPC.
  • The award ceremony of the 2022 PRACE Ada Lovelace Award and a keynote by the winner, Dr Marija Vranic from the Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon. With this award, PRACE honours Marija Vranic’s achievements in pioneering techniques for representing quantum effects in extreme plasmas, and her activities in improving the visibility of women in physics and HPC.
  • Industrial parallel tracks featuring presentations and workshops on HPC & energy transition, industry perspectives on HPC education, or quantum computing use cases from industry.
  • A Panel Discussion on “Emerging applications, model and implementation”, which will discuss recent advances in fields as in quantum algorithms and data-driven computing. The panel will focus on these emerging advances form several perspectives. Which problems are now becoming tractable to tackle, and which recent technologies have really brought a step-change in HPC? Participants include, among others, Dr Marie-Alice Foujols (IPSL), Prof. Dr Kristel Michielsenn (JSC) and Dr Marija Vranic (Ada Lovelace Award 2022 winner).
