ISC High Performance 22
Source: ISC
For two years the ISC High Performance conference could not take place as usual. Now it is back in a hybrid form and with top-class guests in lectures, tutorials and workshops that move the industry. From May 29 to June 2, ISC High Performance will take place in Hamburg. Following the motto Transforming the future, the international conference for High Performance Computing (HPC) focuses on the most important developments and trends in the fields of HPC, machine learning and high-performance data analysis.
Colleagues from the IT Center are also involved again this year, supplementing the program with a variety of presentations and tutorials.
That’s a wrap
From May 29 to June 2, 2022, the ISC High Performance Computing Conference took place in Hamburg. An event we were looking forward to for various reasons. This ISC was the first one that the “NHR4CES” project team participated in locally. It was an important step to show presence, meet the community and further promote the center and the infrastructure, services and opportunities that NHR4CES offers. Through interesting conversations, colleagues* were able to convey motivation and vision and make new contacts. With 3007 visitors and 137 exhibitors, this year’s ISC exceeded all expectations.
Besides the presence at the fair with a booth, the active offers were also very important to get in contact with other HPC experts at the ISC. Especially by participating in various tutorials, workshops and talks at the conference. In addition, the so-called Sofa Talks were launched: In this format our experts* invited to an informative, exclusive and cozy exchange at the NHR4CES booth. Topics such as “TCO Evaluation of Benchmarks for HPC Procurements” or “JARDS4NHR: Online Application for HPC Resources” were discussed in a small, private circle, which is rather unusual for ISC. This approach and the setting – a cozy booth with a living room atmosphere – allowed for intense discussions that also led to follow-up meetings and discussions. This format showed everyone how important personal contact is for fruitful exchange and collaboration.

NHR4CES represented at ISC
As an NHR Center, NHR4CES will have a joint booth with the JARA Center for Simulations and Data Science and will be available throughout the exhibition to answer questions about infrastructure, computing time requests, support opportunities, and current research. The goal of NHR4CES is to provide scientists at German universities with the computing capacity they need for their research, and strengthen their skills for the efficient use of this resource.

ISC High Performance 2022 offers us the opportunity to show (potential) users our structures and thus the opportunities for scientists: Research more efficiently! NHR4CES supports the development of scalable algorithms and software for the investigation, development, design, construction, evaluation, and production of engineering applications with a particular focus on engineering and materials science as well as engineering-oriented physics, chemistry and medicine.
SOFA TALKS @ ISC
The joint booth of JARA-CSD and NHR4CES (booth number J905) will also feature the so-called Sofa Talks. The aim is to discuss topics of interest to the community in a rather atypical, quiet and small setting.
More information and the exact schedule of the SOFA TALKS can be found on the NHR4CES page.(*)
The conference part of the ISC
In addition to having a presence at the exhibition (booth number: J905), NHR4CES experts will also have a large presence in the conference part of ISC High Performance 2022. Dr. Christian Terboven from the CSG Parallelism and Performance in NHR4CES and head of the HPC group at RWTH Aachen University will kick things off with the tutorial Advanced OpenMP: Performance and 5.2 Features on May 29 at 9:00 am. Here, techniques will be presented to fully exploit the capabilities of current HPC compute nodes and achieve peak performance with OpenMP. The day continues with the tutorial Mastering Tasking with OpenMP in the afternoon. Here, the speakers address the relevance of OpenMP as a widely supported shared-memory model and the associated mastering of OpenMP’s tasking concept. The tutorial explores the tasking concept in detail and presents patterns as solutions to common problems.
Another tutorial will be presented by Dr. Sandra Wienke from the CSG Parallelism and Performance in NHR4CES and the HPC group at RWTH Aachen University, among others, on May 29 at 2:00 pm. Titled Using the New SPEChpc 2021 Scientific Application Benchmark Suites for the Evaluation of HPC Ecosystems, the High Performance Group (HPG) of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) will present its benchmarks for HPC systems. The focus of this tutorial is on the new SPEChpc 2021 benchmark suites for the evaluation of HPC ecosystems. Attendees will be provided with hands-on guidance on how to install, configure, and run these new benchmark suites on the HPC systems provided.
Dr. Joachim Protze from the CSG Parallelism and Performance and the HPC group at RWTH Aachen University will contribute to the Focus Session on May 20 at 5:15 pm: OMPT-based tools: How to use and how to build them. Dr. Tim Gerrits, a member of the CSG Visualization in NHR4CES, will participate as a speaker at the 6th International Workshop on In Situ Visualization on June 2 at 2:00 pm. There he will talk about his experiences in a young visualization group in HPC and NHR context.
These are just a few of the many presentations and tutorials in which our colleagues are involved.
