The international meeting for Simulation and High Performance Computing
The TERATEC Forum is a major event in France and Europe that brings together the best international experts in HPC, Simulation and Big Data. It reaffirms the strategic importance of these technologies for developing industrial competitiveness and innovation capacity.
The TERATEC Forum welcomes more than 1 300 attendees, highlighting the technological and industrial dynamism of HPC and the essential role that France plays in this field. The participation and the testimony of senior industrial and ICT leaders, the diversity and the high level of the technical workshops, the representativeness of exhibitors and innovation offers displayed, are assets for all responsible concerned by simulation and high-performance computing.
On Tuesday, June 27, the plenary sessions gave a voice to users and suppliers of the technology, as well as perfectly illustrating the incredible diversity of applications and the advances being achieved.
Norbert Luetke-Entrup (Siemens) came to show how digital science is revolutionizing the core trades of one of the world leaders in the electrics industry. Alain de Rouvray (ESI-Group) explained how industrial manufacturers are moving on from immersive virtual engineering to hybrid twins to optimize product performance through the full lifecycle. Toshiyuki Shimizu (Fujitsu) presented the development strategy implemented by RIKEN and Fujitsu for computers offering even higher performance, low energy consumption, and combining compatibility, accessibility and user-friendliness. Jay D Humphrey (Yale University), Frank Garnier (Bayer) and Francois Andry (Philips Healthcare) demonstrated the technological advances made in HPC and Big Data for applications in the Life Sciences and Healthcare. Adeline Loison and Alassane Cisse (HLi Group) demonstrated how their customers can use Machine Learning to manage their strategy and take operational decisions. Khalil Rouhana (DG Connect) confirmed the desire of the European Commission to make Europe one of the world's three centers of excellence in HPC by 2020, and announced EC funding for an infrastructure facility with two exascale computers to be built by 2023. will focus on the technological challenges of Simulation and High Performance Computing and on the diversity of uses of HPC with the participation of representatives from the political, economic and academic worlds, and advanced international industrial users and leading technology suppliers.
