Supercomputing Spotlights is a new webinar series featuring short presentations that highlight the impact and successes of high-performance computing (HPC) throughout our world. Presentations, emphasizing achievements and opportunities in HPC, are intended for the broad international community, especially students and newcomers to the field. Supercomputing Spotlights is an outreach initiative of SIAG/Supercomputing (https://siag-sc.org) … Join us!
Abstract:
With JUPITER, the first European exascale supercomputer will enter production soon. The system, achieving exascale through about 24 000 Grace-Hopper CPU/GPU superchips, is the result of a long process, in which scientific applications took a prominent role during the design. The talk will present the JUPITER system design, the current status, and how a set of applications within the JUPITER Benchmark Suite were used to procure the machine. In addition, first experiences from JUREAP, the JUPITER Research and Early Access Program, will be presented.
Bio:
Andreas Herten is a researcher at Jülich Supercomputing Centre and the joint-head of the Novel System Architecture Design division, in which he investigates next-generation supercomputer architecture. He and his team especially focus on accelerators (through the Accelerating Devices Lab), like GPUs. Central to his work is the close incorporation of application feedback to assess the hardware-software interaction systematically. Andreas is involved in a variety of European and national research and innovation projects. He plays a leading role in design and deployment of the JUPITER supercomputer, the first exascale system in Europe and hosted in Jülich.
