June 27 & 28, 2012, come meet the HPC community and discuss technological and economic challenges at the TERATEC 2012 Forum - Ecole Polytechnique
High performance Modeling and Simulation are major technological challenges for industry and research. The TERATEC Forum is the opportunity to meet the key industry players and the most advanced users who will present their last developments and their medium term perspectives in these strategic domains for competitiveness and innovation.
 On Wednesday, June 27, the plenary sessions will be dedicated to industrial strategies and public policies on HPC and illustrate the increasing variety of usages. This day will bring together leading technology providers and industrial users as well as highly innovative SMEs. Companies such as ARKEMA, KALRAY, SCHLUMBERGER, TATA and XYRATEX have already confirmed their presence. 
We will also have the participation of public officials, including Robert MADELIN, Director General, Directorate-General for Information Society and Media of the European Commission, and Nelson MACULAN, former Education Minister of Brazil and Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
The day will conclude with the award ceremony of the 2012 Bull-Joseph Fourier Prize, which recognizes an individual or a team for their work in the field of application parallelization on traditional or hybrid architectures, done in a public or private laboratory.
On Thursday, June 28, technical workshops will cover the major topics of the time from design to usage, such as new architectures, parallel programming, systems performance or new concepts for modeling and simulation.
On the 28th in the afternoon, a special SME session will be dedicated to the needs of SMEs: access to computing power and high-level expertise, development of platform-services, financing, training, collaborative research programs, relationship with large industrial groups, etc. and will include a presentation of the Teratec Campus and of the programs managed by the Essonne Chamber of Trade and Industry to welcome them and support their development.
In parallel, will be held the 2012 ScilabTech, the fourth edition of the Scilab Users' Day.
During these two days, there will be an exhibition of around sixty booths covering the whole HPC industry. Systems manufacturers and software vendors, integrators and distributors, service providers, academic and laboratory researchers, public and private sector developers will present their latest HPC innovations.
