Technological challenges and diversification of big data and simulation applications

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 underway. It also provided an opportunity for European public authorities to confirm their support for HPC, with the announcement of funding to purchase two exaflop supercomputers which will be made available to researchers and manufacturers across Europe by 2023.

Once again, the entire HPC ecosystem turned out in force for this, the 12th Teratec Forum, held on June 27 and 28 at the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique. "With over 1,300 attendees, 90 international speakers and over 70 exhibitors, the Teratec Forum has carved itself a reputation as THE European event in the field of HPC," as Gérard Roucairol, Chairman of Teratec, proudly said, before focusing on how the use of HPC is currently revolutionizing the ways in which we think of system performance.

"Just a few years ago, you had to analyze the laws of physics governing a system in order to create an exact model that could be used with multiple data sets to predict how it would behave using HPC. Now, gathering and analyzing ‘‘Big Data’’ from the system allows you to create predictive statistical models, which may soon be replaced by neural networks trained by HPC, which will create models themselves and deduce how systems will perform in the future. These advances will be used together to speed up the development of innovative products and services. Thanks to HPC, computing will become predictive and prescriptive in all sectors of society."
