EPI, EUPILOT and EUPEX are joining forces at the Supercomputing24 conference, which is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, from November 17 – 22, 2024. The three projects will showcase their latest results and ideas at booth #4043.
AT THE BOOTH
Demo Pod
Filippo Mantovani and Pablo Vizcaino Serrano will present EPI’s and EUPILOT’s EPAC prototype featuring a RISC-V vector processing unit developed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). Schedule:
Tuesday, 19 November, 11:00 to 12:00pm EST
Wednesday, 20 November, 11:00 to 12:00pm EST
Thursday, 21 November, 13:00 to 14:00pm EST
Discussions
Researchers and representatives from various EPI consortium members will greet you at the booth to discuss the latest news in EPI development.
Specifically, the joint booth will organize a hot topic Question of the Day for Tuesday and Wednesday. The agenda is as follows:
- 15 minutes – Introduction of the EPI, EUPEX, and EUPILOT projects
- 5 minutes – Review the poll results (displayed live on the screen)
- 40 minutes – Open discussion moderated by the projects’ representatives
Tuesday – November 19, 2024, 3:00-4:00pm EST
