For another year, the entire European and global HPC community gathered to attend the ISC24 in Hamburg, Germany, seeing that it is likely the biggest and most important European HPC conference.
The theme was “Reinventing HPC into ISC 2024” and it was attended by more than 3,400 people in the Exhibition part, with more than 160 exhibitors at their respective booths.
The European Processor Initiative co-hosted a booth together with our colleagues from EUPEX and EUPILOT projects, where our tireless researchers and staff answered numerous questions about the activities in our project.
Colleagues from Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Filippo Mantovani and Fabio Banchelli Garcia, performed an EPAC prototype demo with a RISC-V vector processing unit, which garnered a lot of interest from participants.
On Wednesday, representatives from all three projects co-organized a Birds of Feather session called “European Processor Initiative & the Pre-Exascale Pilots”. The speakers were Pascale Bernier-Bruna (Eviden), Etienne Walter (Eviden), Carlos Puchol (BSC), and the session was moderated by Romana Konjevod (BSC). All three projects presented their goals in a short slide deck, and then opened the floor to a Q/A session. The BoF session had a full house, with many interested ISC attendees coming to participate in the discussion.
