High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart
For the first time, this year’s Results and Review Workshop took place at KIT, where the SCC is a partner with HLRS in providing HPC resources for researchers across Germany. In 21 talks and a poster session, conference attendees learned about the latest research results in fields such as computational fluid dynamics, reactive flows, climate research, computer science, chemistry and materials science, bioinformatics, astrophysics, and particle physics, among others. In addition to focusing on traditional simulation methods using HPC, the talks and poster session included presentations discussing uses of machine learning methods and strategies for improving energy efficiency in the use of HPC.
At the conclusion of the meeting, HLRS steering committee chairman Professor Thomas Ludwig (Director, German Climate Computing Center) announced the winners of the 2024 HLRS Golden Spike Awards. Presented every year at the Results and Review Workshop, the awards recognize excellence in computational research and the use of high-performance computing. Representing their respective projects by presenting lectures at the workshop, this year’s Golden Spike Award winners are:
Dr. Björn F. Klose (Institute of Test and Simulation of Gas Turbines, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cologne)
Numerical investigation of shock-boundary layer interaction on a highly-loaded transonic compressor cascade to compare with experimental results
Simon Homes (Thermodynamics Section, Technische Universität Berlin)
Molecular simulations: A thermodynamic study of bulk and interface behavior
Tim Niklas Uhl (Institute of Theoretical Informatics, Algorithm Engineering, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
Scalable discrete algorithms for big data applications
