Schedule

DescriptionThis session will present on key takeaways on what to expect from SC22, including an overview on top research papers that were submitted for the 2022 Gordon Bell Prize Awards, which recognizes outstanding achievements in high performance computing. These papers highlight various research on how HPC was used in our effort to understand and fight the novel Coronavirus.

Additionally, this session will present detailed analyses of the TOP500 list of supercomputers, which serves as a “Who’s Who” in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC). It started as a list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and has evolved to a major source of information about trends in HPC. The 58th TOP500 list will be published in November 2022 just in time for SC22.

DescriptionThis is a closed event for the Mentor-Protege participants.

ACM A.M. Turing Lecture: A Not So Simple Matter of Software
Presenter: Jack Dongarra
Abstract: In this talk, we examine how high performance computing has changed over the last 40-year and look toward the future in terms of trends. These changes have had and will continue to have a significant impact on our numerical scientific software. A new generation of software libraries and algorithms are needed to effectively use dynamic, distributed, and parallel environments. Some of the software and algorithm challenges have already been encountered, such as management of communication and memory hierarchies through a combination of compile-time and run-time techniques, but the increased scale of computation, depth of memory hierarchies, range of latencies, and increased run--time environment variability will make these problems much harder.
