Yearly Archives: 2017

On June 22nd, 2017, Clemens Grelck, cHiPSet scientific coordinator, presented our COST Action at ISC High Performance, the 32nd Annual Super Computing Conference at Frankfurt (Main), Germany. With more than 450 speakers and more than 3200 attendees ISC High Performance is one of the largest events of its kind in the world. Among others ISC High Performance is world famous for the publication of the summer edition of the TOP-500 list of most powerful high performance computing systems. Clemens was invited to present cHiPSet at the Workshop on HPC I/O in the Data Center (HPC-IODC 2017). For cHiPSet this was […]

cHiPSet is promoting a Training School on Big Data Processing and Analytics in the Internet of Everything Era, that will take place in Novi Sad, Serbia from 20 to 22 September, 2017. Trainers coming from academia and industry will provide presentations with detailed descriptions of the selected data and applications, as well as hands on experience in leveraging big data frameworks on real world problems. For more information please visit our cHiPSet Training School page: http://chipset-cost.eu/index.php/chipset-training-school-2017/ PhD students, researchers and skilled practitioners interested in participating in this training event are welcome to apply: please express your intention to participate, along with […]

cHiPSet was presented this year at ISC HPC Exhibition . This is the result of our collaboration with HiPEAC. We werer invited to share their exhibition booth at Frankfurt. Many thanks to Sabri Pllana for making it possible and Xavier Salazar- HiPEAC Recruitment Officer, Madeleine Gray and Anna Molinet – HiPEAC Communications for their company and kind support in the preparation of our presentation. cHiPSet Chair with Anna … again… ..now with Xavier.. ..our working place. We had 30+ visitors during  3 hours who asked us about the Action details and took our leaflets and promotional materials.

Dr. Horacio González-Vélez, Vice Chair of cHiPSet and Associate Professor at National College of Ireland and Dave Feenan, Industry Dissemination Co-Ordinator for cHiPSet, the two Irish representatives in the Cost Action IC1406, hosted an industry focused seminar in Dublin on Thursday May 18th 2017. Attracting a registered attendee audience of 59 people, predominately drawn from industry, Dr. González-Vélez provided insight into the arena of data-intensive modelling and simulation and how they assist industry today. The seminar appealed to Data Scientists, Computational Scientists, CIOs, Statisticians and the wider tech community who had a desire to understand more about HPC, High Performance Modelling […]

As a result of a successful academic collaboration with the European Council on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS), cHiPSet members ran the High Performance Modeling and Simulation (HIPMOS) track at the 31st edition of the annual ECMS conference held in Budapest on 23-26 May 2017. Below, one can see the photograph of the cHiPSet delegation to the conference together with ECMS President and Secretary.   The HIPMOS track chairs this year were Mauro Iacono, Daniel Grzonka, and Agnieszka Jakobik. Joanna Kolodziej continued to be the honorary chairperson of the track. In addition to organising the peer-review process of the track, Daniel and Mauro seemed to have time for inventing photo-faces with Horacio […]
