Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)

JSC@Supercomputing Conference SC24

SC24, the leading international exhibition and conference on high-performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis, will take place from 17 to 22 November 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. JSC together with its partners from the Modular Supercomputing and Quantum Computing research group of the Goethe-University Frankfurt will present their diverse range of activities at JSC’s booth #1443.

Unleashing Next-Gen Computing Power

This year, the Jülich Supercomputing Centre will be on site with 25 colleagues. The JSC will be presenting itself with its brand new exhibition booth under the slogan “Unleashing Next-Gen Computing Power”. In addition to the topics “HPC(Tools)”, “Quantum Computing”, “Artificial Intelligence” and our European projects and collaborations, the focus will be on the upcoming exascale system JUPITER. The first module of the exascale supercomputer, named JEDI, is ranked first place in the Green500 list of the most energy-efficient supercomputers worldwide, at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg. With our second module, JETI, on its way, we hope to achieve a similar top position at the Supercomputing Conference in Atlanta.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to our new stand to show you what JSC is up to in the field of supercomputing and quantum computing, what JUPITER will bring us and much more. We are also pleased to give visitors to our booth the opportunity to live code our D-Wave Advantage™ System JUPSI via JUNIQ (Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing). Our partners from the Goethe-University Frankfurt will present research and development in the area of hybrid algorithms for modular supercomputing and quantum computing.

At the events of the exhibition, JSC will present its achievements and plans in several EU-funded projects. This year's application focus is on artificial intelligence, with news and success stories on JSC's strategy and support in HPC for AI. In addition, both in-house HPC tools like LLview, JUBE, and Scalasca as well as JSC's support infrastructure will be demonstrated.

A particular JSC highlight will be the event Application-Driven Exascale: The JUPITER Benchmark Suite , where the results of the corresponding paper will be presented. The Benchmark Suite was designed for and used in the procurement of JUPITER, the first European exascale supercomputer. On Tuesday, November 19th from 4:00pm - 4:30pm in room B312-B313A you can meet some of the 31 JSC colleagues involved in the event. Together, we identify requirements and challenges and outline the project and software infrastructure setup. We provide descriptions and scalability studies of selected applications and a set of key takeaways. The JUPITER Benchmark Suite is released as open-source software with this work.

Beyond that, the JSC is also involved in four workshops, four Birds of Feather, one panel and one tutorial. Our colleagues Cristina Manzano (Session Lead) and Anna Lührs have co-organised the Super(computing)heroes BoF on Wednesday, which was already a success at the ISC.
