The SupercomputingAsia (SCA) is the largest conference in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) for the global supercomputing community in Asia. This year, the SCA was jointly hosted with the International Conference on High Performance Computing in the Asia-Pacific Region (HPCAsia) in Osaka, Japan. More than 2,500 participants from 45 countries and regions attended SCA/HPCAsia 2026 to discuss current research results, technological developments, and future trends in supercomputing. Keynote speakers highlighted important developments for the convergence of HPC, AI, and Quantum Computing.
The IT Center was represented by three participants, who exchanged ideas with international experts and made strong contributions to the conference’s workshops by presenting current research results on HPC & AI and energy efficiency.
Archer: Error Detection for HPC
Source: Pruners Github
The world of high-performance computing is developing rapidly and computing capacities are reaching new heights. In this context, tools for error detection and correction are essential to ensure the reliability of applications. One such tool is Archer, which was specially developed to detect data races in OpenMP programmes.

Alongside theory and experiment, computer-aided simulations are described as the third pillar of science. It is therefore of great importance for technical universities such as RWTH Aachen University to continuously expand their capacities in the field of high-performance computing and to further develop their capabilities. We are therefore delighted that the full installation of the new Aix-la-Chapelle cluster (CLAIX) has been completed! Under the label CLAIX-2023, the new high-performance computer not only offers powerful Intel Xeon 8468 Sapphire Rapids CPUs with a total of 96 cores per computing node for a significant increase in performance. In addition, it has 52 special servers for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, each with four NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which enables an impressive total performance of over 14 PFLOPS in the ML segment alone.
