High performance Simulation and Computing for competitiveness, innovation and employment
The 15th edition of the Teratec Forum, which was held exceptionally in digital, on October 13 and 14, 2020 given the health circumstances, brought together over 1,200 experts in Simulation, HPC, Big Data and artificial intelligence. It brought together manufacturers, users, suppliers and political decision-makers around the essential question of digital technology. As Daniel Verwaerde, Chairman of Teratec recalled, in his introduction, "this crisis demonstrates the now fundamental importance of digital, and especially HPC and HPDA in our life and in our economy".
Presentation
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 2018 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. 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.
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. 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.
The TERATEC Forum has just closed its doors at the Ecole Polytechnique after two particularly rich and intense days: 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.
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.
Here'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 confirmed the strategic importance of HPC in the industrial and service sectors, and its expansion to small and medium enterprises. Everyone involved in high-performance simulation, from major operators and simulation companies to the government, users, and small businesses, officially endorsed its important role. Meanwhile, General Commissioner for Investments Louis Gallois defined high-performance simulation as a strategic priority for investing in the future of digital technologies.
The seventh edition of TERATEC Forum was held on June, 27 & 28, 2012 at the Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, Paris area). With more than 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 & 29, Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, Paris area). TERATEC Forum focus on High Performance Computing and Systems Design. TERATEC brings together top international experts in high performance numerical design and simulation, making it the major event in France and in Europe in this field. It reaffirms the strategic importance of these technologies for developing industrial competitiveness and innovation capacity.
15 and 16 june, 2010 at the Ecole Polytechnique, TERATEC Forum concentrated on the very fast development of HPC usage in many various domains
The TERATEC 2009 Forum, bringing together more than 600 people, highlighted the economic and scientific dynamism of HPC for key industries and services and the new role now played by France in this field.
3 and 4 June 2008 at Genocentre, Evry (91) France
20 June 2007 at Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines
