On July 19th, Supercomputing Frontiers Europe 2021 – the 7th edition of the international conference will not only break geographical barriers with segments like ‘Focus on India’ and ‘Focus on Africa’, but also cross the frontier of merging Cloud and HPC.

 

 

The Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computational Modeling (ICM), University of Warsaw invites all HPC (High Performance Computing) enthusiasts to participate in the 7th edition of Supercomputing Frontiers Europe 2021 [19-23 July].



 

The fully virtual and free event includes presentations and lectures by world-renowned scientists, entrepreneurs and HPC, AI and quantum computing specialists. Over 40 invited speakers from Europe, Africa, United States and Asia will take part in 15 thematic blocks; we will also learn about large-scale computing initiatives in India and Africa. The conference will have a networking zone and free workshops by Lenovo, Huawei, Systems Boiology Institute Tokyo (text mining – Taxila), Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (QCG middleware) and ICM (data visualization – VisNow).

Over 1000 people from 67 countries around the world participated in the previous SCFE conference. Since 2018, the organiser of the European edition of Supercomputing Frontiers is the Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computational Modeling (ICM) of the University of Warsaw. In 2015-2017, the event took place in Singapore, from where it was moved to Warsaw by Dr. Marek Michalewicz, then managing director of A * STAR Computational Resource Center (A * CRC), currently Director of ICM, University of Warsaw.
