03: Challenges of Current and Emerging Applications for High Performance Computing

• Ralf Schneider, High Performance Computing Center, University of Stuttgart

Today's high performance computing (HPC) systems are able to deliver peak performance at petascale. Even though this massive computing power enables simulation results of outstanding quality, a critical fact one has to regard is, that today's HPC systems generate their performance by facilitating hundreds of thousands of cores. With this massive parallelism several challenges concerning parallelization strategies, parallel input and output and data analytics arise affecting the efficient and sustainable usage of such systems. The Mini-Symposium will discuss how these challenges affect current and emerging applications in the fields of computational mechanics, computational biomechanics, optimization problems and data analytics.
