Workshop "Simulating the Future" - 2008

Workshop « Simulating the Future ; Using One Million Cores and Beyond » organised by  EDF R&D (JY Berthou) and Univ. of Tennessee(J. Dongarra)

Location: Chateau de Tremblay

Date: September 22- 24, 2008

Content: Massively parallel systems, composed of approximately one million of heterogeneous cores will appear at the end of this decade. This technological breakthrough will engage the HPC community for the next 20 years in defining new generations of applications and simulation platforms. The challenge is particularly severe for multi-physics, multi-scale simulation platforms that will have to combine massively parallel software components developed independently from each others. Another difficult issue is to deal with legacy codes.
This will require new compilers, libraries, middleware, programming environments, languages, as well as new numerical methods, code architectures, mesh generation tool, visualization tool.
This workshop, on invitation only, will bring together experts from academia, industry, funding agencies, vendors, editors that will share their views on these strategic issues, mixing users and solution providers point of views.
