On October 10 and 11, 2024, the 27th Results and Review Workshop took place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The two-day conference, which brought together users of the supercomputers of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) and the Scientific Computing Center (SCC), highlighted modern applications of high performance and supercomputing (HPC) and provided a platform for presenting research results and discussing issues of application performance and scalability of HPC.
Prof. Dr. Martin Frank (Director of the SCC, KIT) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Ludwig (Director of the DKRZ, Hamburg and Chairman of the Steering Committee) welcomed the participants to the event.
Current research results from computational fluid mechanics, climate research, computer science, reactive flows and other disciplines such as chemistry and materials science, bioinformatics, astrophysics and particle physics were presented in 21 lectures and a poster session. In addition to traditional HPC simulations, machine learning methods and strategies for improving energy efficiency were also discussed.
One of the highlights was the presentation of the Golden Spike Awards to outstanding research projects. Among the award winners was Tim Niklas Uhl (Institute for Theoretical Computer Science, KIT), who was honored for his work on scalable algorithms for big data applications.
