Workshop 05 - 09:00 am to 12:30 am

Is the Cloud the (inevitable) future of HPC?
Urban legends and realities
Chaired by Gilles Tourpe, Business Development Manager HPC, AWS and Xavier Vigouroux, Head of business development, CGG

CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Batiment) and HPC
By Jérémy Déchard, consultant expert HPC, AS+
et Julien Minière, consultant expert HPC, AS+

The CSTB has deployed its HPC in the Cloud to provide its engineers with flexible and powerful tools. Beyond a paradigm shift, come and discover the main stages of this project, the obstacles that had to be overcome and the current result.

Biography: After completing a thesis in relativistic plasma physics induced by laser pulses at CEA, Jérémy Déchard joined the AS+ company, transitioning from using high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures to their administration. Since then, he has been involved in various HPC topics: providing support to end users, benchmarking performance, developing and optimizing HPC codes on heterogeneous architectures (MPI, OpenMP, GPU), managing computing resources for academic and industrial stakeholders, and now exploring HPC usage in the cloud.

Biography: After completing a thesis in astrophysics at the CEA and the Paris Observatory, Julien Minière joined AS+. He began by providing application support to users within the TGCC, before dedicating himself to the development of HPC (High-Performance Computing) codes for several years (implementation of solvers in a molecular dynamics code, developments in a plasma physics code, etc.). He then participated in various optimization or code porting projects on heterogeneous architectures, and is now responsible for setting up and administering various computing infrastructures, both for on-premise supercomputers and in the AWS cloud.
