Welcome to the TER@TEC 2010 Forum
     

The TER@TEC Forum dedicated on the very fast development of HPC usage in many various domains

By gathering the best international experts in high performance numerical design and simulation, the TER@TEC Forum is the major event in France and in Europe in this domain. It confirms the importance of this sector in the development of industrial competitiveness, scientific research and innovation capacity.

The plenary sessions will illustrate the increasing impact of HPC in many areas of industry and research, and its role in major scientific and technological challenges, with the participation of industrial users, of international leading suppliers, and of personalities from the political, economical and academic worlds. An exhibition of around fifty booths will present innovations coming from the major players, manufacturers and software editors, integrators and distributors, services providers, etc. The workshops will address HPC major research and engineering topics and will be an opportunity to discover some major collaborative projects under development between industry and research.

Systemes architecture
Wednesday June 16 from 9h00 to 13h00
With the participation of CEA, CRAY, CLUSTERSTOR, SGI, HEWLETT PACKARD and KALRAY
We have just entered the Petascale era, and the period to come will see a tremendous increase of the number of very large HPC systems. On our way towards the next, but still far horizon of Exascale, it is also clear that a sustainable consolidation of the current or near-existing technologies will more and more have to tackle the architecture and system issues as a whole. Computing, communication, storage and data management elements will have to be integrated tightly in a balanced, energy-efficient and robust way to ensure the viability and acceptability of high end supercomputers. This workshop will address those global design and integration issues, through the enlightening visions of major players and leaders in the field of very high performance computing and data management systems.

separateurParallel applications, the challenges of manycore architectures
Wednesday June 16 from 14h00 to 18h00
With the participation of CAPS ENTREPRISE, INRIA, BARCELONA SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER, ALLINEA et MICROSOFT
Manycore processors are here. Energy saving tends to favor heterogeneous architectures that combine general-purpose cores with streaming co-processors such as GPUs. To exploit the tremendous computing power of these systems, software refactoring that extracts massive parallelism is unavoidable. There is no “silver bullet” to transparently solve this issue.
