World leaders in supercomputing gathered for four days in Ostrava. From 8 to 11 September, the 15th International Conference “Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics” (PPAM) occurred here. This important conference was organised by the Czestochowa University of Technology in Poland in cooperation with the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the VSB-TUO.
One of the special guests was the legendary Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, whose groundbreaking work has fundamentally influenced current standards in supercomputing. The “father of supercomputing” was even interviewed, which you can read or listen to as a podcast. PPAM was also graced with Satoshi Matsuoka, Director of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science, who was behind developing some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. Experts from IT4Innovations Lubomír Říha and Ondřej Vysocký also presented their expertise at the conference.
This year’s PPAM focused on parallel and distributed computing, including both theory and applications and applied mathematics. The presentations focused on models, algorithms, and software tools that facilitate efficient and convenient use of modern parallel and distributed computing architectures and large-scale applications. Particular attention was paid to the future of computing beyond Moore’s Law or the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in high-performance computing.
