The Big Data and Extreme-scale Computing (BDEC) funded by NSF, DOE and the European Commission (through the EESI project, www.eesi-project.eu) is premised on the idea that we must to systematically map out and account for the ways in which the major issues associated with Big Data intersect with, impinge upon, and potentially change the national and international plans that are now being laid for achieving exascale computing. The next BDEC 2-day workshops goal is to help plan how the international community could build a partnership to provide the next generation of HPC software to support big data and extreme computing to aid scientific discovery. The third workshop in the series will be in Barcelona Spain January 29th and 30th, Thursday and Friday, with a reception on Wednesday January 28th.

Along with application leaders confronting diverse big data challenges, attendees will include members from industry, academia, and government, with expertise in algorithms, computer system architecture, operating systems, compilers, libraries, languages and applications.

The BDEC workshop will be preceded by a BDEC for Europe workshop where European Exascale strategy, projects, initiatives will be presented the Wednesday 28th  at same location. The workshop is by invitation only.

The European Commission's Directorates-General for Research and Innovation and for Communications Networks, Content and Technology are jointly organising a workshop on High Performance Computing in Health Research in Brussels on 1-2 October 2014.

High Performance Computing (HPC) has emerged as a crucial technology in health research allowing fast advances in a series of areas. In particular, HPC allows addressing system challenges such as (1) managing important volume of data, (2) developing and integrating models, (3) ensuring interoperability between model data and (4) allowing easy access to quality data.

The overall objective of the Workshop on High Performance Computing in Health Research is to identify current and future health research needs for HPC and to explore mechanisms of addressing them through co-operation of relevant stakeholders. The workshop will bring together high level experts from different health fields, industries, health researchers, and representatives of HPC industries and supercomputing centres.

In particular, by bringing the health and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) communities together, including potential users such as clinicians, health IT professionals and carers, it is expected to address the specific needs of all these actors.

The detailed objectives of this workshop are to:

• investigate needs for high performance computing in health research, including in
• terms of infrastructures, with concrete examples of areas that already apply this
• technology or intend to develop it;
• identify how existing infrastructures can best contribute;
• discuss future activities in this field.

Three panels and a series of presentations have been set up to address the above mentioned objectives.

The provisional programme of the workshop is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/news-redirect/17279

It is expected that the panel discussions and interaction with the audience will allow to produce a report that should summarise the new needs identified, if and how existing infrastructures can answer these needs and what are the ways forward from the different stakeholders' points of view.

If you wish to attend, please register your interest at: https://ec.europa.eu/digitalagenda/events/cf/hpc-and-health/register.cfm

You can send questions concerning the event at the functional mailbox: [email protected].

Please note that the capacity of the meeting room is limited, so early registration is recommended.

In this tutorial we present an asynchronous dataflow programming model for Partitioned Global Address Spaces (PGAS) as an alternative to the programming model of MPI. GASPI, which stands for Global Address Space Programming Interface, is a partitioned global address space (PGAS) API. The GASPI API is designed as a C/C++/Fortran library and focused on three key objectives: scalability, flexibility and fault tolerance. In order to achieve its much improved scaling behaviour GASPI aims at asynchronous dataflow with remote completion, rather than bulk-synchronous message exchanges. GASPI follows a single/multiple program multiple data (SPMD/MPMD) approach and offers a small, yet powerful API (see also http://www.gaspi.de and http://www.gpi-site.com). GASPI is successfully used in academic and industrial simulation applications. Hands-on sessions (in C and Fortran) will allow users to immediately test and understand the basic constructs of GASPI. This course provides scientific training in Computational Science, and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

The workshop series on Big Data and Extreme-scale Computing (BDEC) is premised on the idea that we must begin to systematically map out and account for the ways in which the major issues associated with Big Data intersect with, impinge upon, and potentially change the national (and international) plans that are now being laid for achieving exascale computing. The goal is to help the international community develop a plan for building a partnership to provide the next generation of HPC software to support big data and extreme computing for scientific discovery.

The International supercomputing conference will take place from the 16th to 20th of June 2013 in Leipzig, Germany.
Around 300 expert speakers will tackle present and future HPC-related issues like Cloud, GPU, Exascale and Energy in tutorials, workshops, keynotes, BOFs, panels and other sessions.

A member of the consortium, Marie-Christine Sawley from Intel, will organize a BOF session on Miniapps at this occasion.
The abstract of the session is presented hereafter:

The first technical meeting of EESI 2 has brought together about 40 experts in the areas of software development, numerical analysis, applications knowledge, funding models and governance aspects in High Performance Computing, coming from several European countries, Saudi Arabia and USA from academia and industry.

The Internal workshop was aimed for each working group (WG) to present their results and roadmaps and, generally speaking, to address cross cutting issues between the different fields.
The aim of the meeting was also to elaborate a first set of concrete recommendations for the future of HPC in Europe.

The main results of the internal workshop are:

• A very good attendance of all work packages chairs and vice chairs as well as experts from all working groups;
• A presentation of the results of the working groups showing a good overall progress in the definition of the roadmap;
• A set of two fruitful parallel sessions between the members of the working groups. The outcome of these sessions will feed the deliverables and guide final thoughts on EESI 2;
• A schedule and process to achieve the oncoming deliverables;

Fruitful discussions with the representative from the European Commission
