[ICIM] Seminar on Industrial Mathematical Exchange and Meeting (6.26)

The Industrial Mathematical Innovation Center of the National Institute of Mathematical Sciences conducts various seminars with experts to find problems that can be solved with industrial mathematics, discuss solutions, and share successful cases through exchange of research with industry studies.

I would like to invite Dr. Kang Gap-seok of the Max-Plank Institute for Plasma Physics to conduct a seminar and industry meeting.

1. Title: HPC in Europe and HLST

2. Dr. Kang: Max-Plank Institute for Plasma Physics

4. Content:

High Performance Computing (HPC) previously the domain of theoretical scientists and computer and software developers is becoming ever more important as a research tool in many surprising areas. The use of HPC in modeling complex physical phenomena such as weather, fluid dynamics, molecular interactions, astronomocal calculations and engineering design is well know to researchers in those fields. HPC is also now being used in industry to improve products, reduce production costs and decrease the time it takes to develop new products. As our ability to collect Big Data increases the need to be able to analyse the data also increases, this is an area HPC can be a most useful tool. More recently HPC is being used by researchers in social media, semantics, geology, archeology, materials, urban planning, graphics, genomics, brain imaging, economics, game design and even music.

The infrastruture and usage HPC in the Europe had underdeveloped in comparison with USA. From 2009, the investments on HPC of Europe expecially Germany have been expanded. The investments have included in the infrastructure and expand the usage through supporting scientists and training new researchers. The High Level Support Team (HLST) in the EUROFusion project in the Horizon2020 framework was consisted to support developing Fusion simualtion codes.

In this talk, I present the current status and plan of future investment of the HPC in Europe. I also talk about my experiences as a memeber of HLST.
