CECAM Webinars - The importance of being H.P.C. Earnest

The power of simulation and modeling is intimately related to the available computational resources, to the community’s awareness of these resources, and to its proficiency in their optimal exploitation. The relevance and impact of High Performance Computing (HPC) can be quite different depending on the specific area, but we are all confronted with the relationship between new methods and algorithms and their implementation in proficient codes. We are also increasingly solicited, by technological developments and political choices, to consider in our research aspects related to scalability, portability and optimal deployment of software on a rapidly evolving ecosystem of hardware architectures.

The seminars are held as follows:

Thursday June 18 

Nicola Marzari (EPFL), Claudia Filippi (University of Twente),  Anthony Scemama (University of Toulouse III), Giulia Galli (University of Chicago & Argonne National Laboratory).
