The challenges of high-performance computing in the exascale era with the adastra supercomputer: what scientific challenges? All aboard for a trip to the stars!

  • Category: Symposium
  • Dates : May 4, 2023
  • Opening hours: 1:30 pm to 5 pm
  • Venue: Université de Montpellier, campus Saint Priest, bât 2, amphi Jean-Jacques Moreau - 860 rue de Saint Priest, 34090 Montpellier

France has acquired a new Adastra supercomputer for scientific research, housed at CINES, one of the most powerful in the world with a peak performance of over 75 PFlops/s, and currently the most energy-efficient in production. It provides French scientists with massive, innovative computing capacity for their complex numerical simulation needs.

To mark its inauguration, a symposium has been organized to illustrate and discuss some of the scientific challenges requiring such computing power.

8 presentations will illustrate examples of scientific challenges involving supercomputers. In conclusion, a presentation by the Montpellier Universe and Particles Laboratory, dedicated to the exploration of the Universe, from its most elementary constituents to its largest and oldest structures, will guide us along the path of simulation towards the stars!
