Eurolab4HPC supporting HPC innovation. Expert view: Martin Schulz Power bound computing – use more nodes, etc. and find best configuration (makes more sense with the slides) Network contention: harder to predict execution times but cheaper in terms of hardware. Manage complex workflows Monitor the application and hardware stack at all points. [Seems more comprehensive than …

Visualisation of results, not during. Spatial and temporal discretisation of complex equations -> errors Chemistry of dust: hard to do (q.v. Sheffield) 300,000 Blue Waters (NCSA) Not all simulations scale (gravity) Simulations on different scales. Simulations of binary stars and their ultimate end. Nebula formation. Takes a long time (6 months wall clock) due to …

I will post more details, and this is a placeholder for that, but BIOS IT has a product which allows two useful things: Access from a container or VM to a hosted GPGPU. This would allow, for example, a workload using Robot Operation System (ROS) which is easiest to install on Ubuntu to be run …
