Title High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications
Abstract
Data-intensive modelling and simulation make efficiency critical as they typically require coping with multi-dimensional and multi-level integration and model state explosion. Furthermore, their performance is nowadays arguably dominated by remote and local data movement overhead (network messages, memory and storage accesses), which poses a challenge to traditional High Performance Computing paradigms. This talk will discuss emerging trends on "High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications” under the umbrella of cHiPSet http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ict/Actions/IC1406, a major European research endeavour. Funded by the European Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 programme, cHiPSet will foster a novel, coordinated Big Data endeavour supported by High Performance Computing. It will support information exchange, synergy, and coordination of activities among leading European research groups and top global partner institutions including the Chinese.
