E4 organises three workshops on the latest developments in ICT at HiPEAC 2024.

In a context of intensifying geopolitical and environmental pressures, where the challenge for man is to keep pace with the rapid evolution of technology, several challenges have been identified for technology leadership to which HiPEAC Conference aims to respond:
cyber security, artificial intelligence (AI), energy efficiency, porting of code to exascale systems, innovative hardware technologies and machine learning.

The event, which will be held at the SCC – Science Congress Center in Munich from 17 to 19 January 2024, is one of the most influential events in Europe dedicated to the ICT sector, and is aimed at bringing together industry, academia and research centres in the field of high-performance computing systems.

With a busy programme and a wide range of associated events, HiPEAC specifically targets experts in the HPC computing sector and focuses on topics such as programming models, compilers, emerging architectures and embedded systems.

HiPEAC 2024, in its offering of workshops, tutorials and special sessions dedicated to different aspects of IT, will see E4 Computer Engineering as the organiser of three workshops on the latest developments in ICT in this edition.

AGENDA

(The agenda is currently provisional and may be subject to change).

Classical HPC & QC: the way to foster the integration
Among the main topics that will be addressed are:

• Reflections on the realisation of the interface, which aspects should be considered, both from a software and hardware point of view
• Critical issues to start working in this direction and what the benefits and potential targets will be
• How and when heterogeneous technologies in QC systems will converge towards integration with classical computers and what the limitations might be
• State of the art of Quantum Computing technologies, presenting the results of academics and companies in this field

Friday, 01/19/2024
Plasma Physic Towards the ExaScale Era
This workshop will bring together plasma researchers, code developers, research software engineers and HPC experts from the newly launched CoEs SPACE and Plasma-PEPSC and the rich Plasma code community to discuss key issues and possible solutions for porting selected codes to new emerging architectures.

More details on the workshops will follow shortly.
