Eagerly awaited after two digital editions, the 17th edition of the Teratec Forum provided an opportunity to share the vision and developments in technology and the market, as well as to bring together manufacturers, users, suppliers, researchers and specialists to discuss high-power digital issues. And it was clear: digital technology is accelerating all the time. This acceleration, which underpins the digital transformation of companies and imposes new rules in the world of high performance computing and simulation, is accompanied by the sudden emergence of environmental issues in its landscape. |

The 14th Forum TERATEC held on June 11 and 12 at the École Polytechnique clearly confirmed three main trends in High Performance Computing and High Performance Data Analysis: Europe’s determination to become a major global player in the field, the rising Use of supercomputers for Simulation and Data Processing, and Societal concerns generating a huge need for computing, all of which influencing technology. |

The 13th edition of the Forum TERATEC has just closed at Ecole Polytechnique. More than 1,200 participants gained the opportunity to take stock of state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) and digital simulation, as well as more innovative technologies such as HPDA, Big Data processing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. It was also revealed that sectors as diverse as automotive, satellite image processing and embedded systems development are facing relatively similar issues and needs. |

The 2017 Forum has been a huge success, with the leading innovators in R&D and industry coming to explain to over 1,300 attendees how Big Data, Simulation and HPC can enable them to embrace the great digital transition. For its part, Teratec sees the Forum as a way to support industry in successfully navigating this transition: the professionals attending the two-day Forum this year were treated to a panoply of lectures, workshops, themed areas and more. |

This eleventh edition was particularly rich and intense: visitors and conference attendees filled the aisles and lecture halls to meet the market players and, during the plenary sessions and technical workshops, review the latest trends in HPC, Big Data and Digital Simulation. During the opening of the plenary sessions Thierry Mandon, Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research, stressed the "major importance of mastering HPC and digital simulation technologies for research and for the economy"...following on from Jean-Claude Junker, President of the European Union who, in 2015 at the Elysée, reminded us of "the power of mega data and high performance computing, as catalysts for economic growth, innovation and digital conversion in all economic sectors and for businesses of every size".. |

Attracting over 1,300 international participants, the Teratec Forum once again demonstrated its positioning as a major event for HPC, Simulation and Big Data at the service of industry and research. Directors of industrial companies discussed current technologies and those that will shape the future. Large-scale users spoke of how digital simulation is used in their specific sectors. In the speech by Emmanuel MACRON, France's Minister of the Economy, Industry and the Digital Sector, and the closing speech by Thierry MANDON, Minister of State for Higher Education and Research, the public authorities emphasised the rate of progress of HPC in France and the fact that it is integrated in major State decisions such as implementation of the Supercomputer Plan presented during the Forum. |

There's no longer any doubt about it: HPC helps companies by boosting their competitiveness! That was one of the main observations that the Teratec Forum illustrated during 2 very dense days of programming in Palaiseau, ending on July 2. The first day's talks highlighted how rapidly HPC has been expanding in France and the extent to which it has been adopted by the government in France and even Europe via major decisions, such as the official launch of the "Supercomputers" plan, one of the first of the 34 plans adopted by the French government; it was approved on May 7 by Minister of Industrial Recovery Arnaud Montebourg and President François Hollande. |

The 8th Teratec Forum, which has just come to a close, confirmed the strategic importance of HPC in the industrial and service sectors, and its expansion to small and medium enterprises. |

The seventh edition of TERATEC Forum was held on June, 27 & 28, 2012 at the Ecole Polytechnique. With nearly 1,000 participants, 60 international speakers and 60 exhibitors, Forum TERATEC has once again demonstrated the dynamism of industrial technology providers (hardware, software and services) facing a strongly expanding market and increasing interest from industrial users as prompt, efficient means to improve competitiveness. |

June 28, the plenary sessions illustrated the growing importance of HPC in many areas of industry and research and its role in major scientific and technological advances, with the participation in the morning of major political, economic and academic figures, and leading international industry users and suppliers. In the afternoon, senior industrial and ICT leaders have given their testimonies on the challenges of high performance simulation in several domains: aerospace, new materials, big data, operational research …June 29, the workshops have addressed critical HPC subjects and provide an opportunity to discover some major projects currently under development by industry in cooperation with research organisations. June 28 and 29, an exhibition with more than fifty booths presented innovations from the major HPC players, software manufacturers and producers, integrators and distributors, service providers, academic and laboratory researchers, public and private sector developers, etc. |

By gathering the best international experts in high performance numerical design and simulation, the TERATEC 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 and innovation capacity. |
