SC23: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis
12 November 2023
We'll be exhibiting at SC23 in Denver from 12-17 November and taking part in many activities across the programme.
Details of EPCC's participation at SC23 will be added here as they are confirmed.
WHPC@SC23: 16th International Women in HPC Workshop
Monday 13 November 2023, 9am–5:30pm
The Women in HPC workshop series is the leading SC event focused on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) topics. We aim to cultivate skills for valuing a diverse workforce and creating a welcoming environment for all. New this year, the event will have an increased emphasis on diversity and inclusion of both women and men from under-represented groups. The workshop will focus on improving diversity and inclusion for all in the HPC workforce and is a key step in addressing one aspect of the under-representation of various minorities: helping to retain diverse employees in the field and providing them with the tools to prosper and excel. For 2023, EPCC's Eleanor Broadway is acting as the workshop’s Submission co-Chair to curate a programme of lightning talks delivered by early-career researchers from under-represented groups.

Second International workshop on RISC-V for HPC
Monday 13 November 2023, 1:30pm–5pm
EPCC hosts the ExCALIBUR H&ES RISC-V testbed, enabling ExCALIBUR projects and UK HPC developers more widely to experiment with their codes on RISC-V. The RISC-V testbed will lead the organisation of the Second International Workshop on RISC-V for HPC, which will build on the very successful session held at ISC'23 at the start of the summer. RISC-V is an open source CPU instruction set and, with over 10 billion RISC-V based devices having been produced in the last few years, it is growing in popularity extremely quickly. We believe that RISC-V could be revolutionary for HPC and has the potential to power the next generation of exascale computers in an energy efficient manner. This workshop will focus on sharing current practice, opportunities, and challenges around the use of RISC-V for HPC workloads. With a mixture of an invited talk, research paper presentations and lightning talks, a diverse set of topics will be covered that should be of interest to not only those involved in RISC-V but also the wider HPC community.
