SC16
The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis.

Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum GmbH (DKRZ)

On its booth DKRZ presents the latest high resolution climate simulations that have been calculated on DKRZ’s high performance computing system for earth system science “Mistral”. DKRZ regularly supports extensive simulations within the frame of the international coupled model intercomparison project (CMIP), which produce enormous amounts of data. DKRZ presents its data services on the example of CMIP5 and gives a preview in the planned calculations for CMIP6. As the project coordinator, DKRZ gives information about the European excellence center for weather and climate research ESiWACE. And at the DKRZ booth there will be information available about the newly founded cooperation with JAMSTEC, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.

Fraunhofer ITWM

The Fraunhofer Center for HPC is focused on the development of highly parallel applications, corresponding frameworks and tools to enable high scalability. Now we present novel algorithms for Large Scale Machine Learning. The basis for scalable systems are scalable programming models and scalable I/O. GPI2 (Global Address Space Programming Interface) and the parallel filesystem BeeGFS (delivered by the Fraunhofer spin-off ThinkParQ) are 2 scalable and proven HPC core tools for this market. We demonstrate the power of our parallel programming and cloud framework GPI-Space that enables scalable data flow driven applications. The Fraunhofer Center for HPC cooperates with research and industry.
