Conférence francophone d'informatique en Parallélisme, Architecture et Système (COMPAS 2026)
Conférence francophone d'informatique en Parallélisme, Architecture et Système (COMPAS)
For many years, Compas has provided the French-speaking community—and those working in France on these topics—with the opportunity to exchange ideas through a rich and varied program. Its primary goal is to foster interaction among established researchers, early-career researchers, and industry professionals. Compas strengthens ties between research teams across the French-speaking world and encourages the emergence of new research topics and collaborations, with a particular emphasis on integrating early-career researchers.
The Saint-Girons Conference Series : GENERATING IDEAS FOR A NUMERICAL WORLD
The Saint-Girons Conference Series
Science is based on observations, experiments, development of theories, and often development of models for simulating observed phenomena and/or predicting future events. Advances in computing capabilities have had a far-reaching impact not only on simulations, but also on data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI), leading to a digital society era. Numerical tools have played a fundamental role in these advances and in high-performance computing (HPC) in general. From the first meeting in Saint-Girons, the series has assessed the progress made in the full use of computing capabilities and identified potential challenges for discussion in subsequent meetings. One characteristic of the meetings is that in addition to keynote speakers and established researchers, participation of students is encouraged and the programme and budget are designed to support student attendance. The fifth meeting in the series – Saint-Girons V – will seek to cover a broad range of topics, as we move towards new frontiers of computing in applications and hardware.
Considering an evolving and increasingly complex HPC ecosystem, Saint-Girons V will give participants an opportunity to discuss pressing HPC-related topics, as well as the rise of AI and related massive data processing, the emerging area of quantum computing, and the potential implications of a post-Moore era of computing. The uniqueness of the meetings in Saint-Girons lies in the combination of a set of selected presentations, social events, and time for sharing and exchanging at the pace of a picturesque mountain village. New research topics and collaborations have emerged from all these moments.
AISSAI / NumPEx - 2/4 - HPC/AI hybridization and LLM for HPC
This event belongs to the thematic trimester "HPC and AI convergence at the exascale era" organized by AISSAI Center and PEPR NumPEx in collaboration with ANITI AI cluster.
HACE workshop in Toulouse (May 26–29 2026) is the technical follow‑up of the opening conference SCOPE on “HPC and AI convergence at the Exascale era that took place in Paris in March 2026. The workshop will gather researchers from applied mathematics, scientific computing, AI, and HPC engineering to explore how hybrid AI–HPC workflows can deliver robust, scalable solvers for complex physical and industrial applications. By articulating methodological advances (PINNs, Neural Operators, diffusion and foundation models) with large‑scale implementations and real application case‑studies, HACE aims at identifying concrete co‑design strategies between numerical methods, learning architectures, and exascale systems. The format combines keynote talks, focused application talks, and hands‑on / technical sessions to foster exchanges between communities and to help participants build reusable patterns for hybrid AI–HPC workflows in their own domains.

AISSAI-JAXHACK : JAX for HPC/AI hybridization hackathon
Hackathon – JAX for HPC/AI Hybridization
September 7–9, 2026 • IDRIS, Paris-Saclay
The JAX for HPC/AI Hybridization hackathon is a three-day hands-on event dedicated to evaluating JAX for large-scale scientific computing and the convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Participants will explore JAX’s strengths and limitations through hands-on exercises, scientific computing applications, and scalability studies conducted on the Jean Zay supercomputer.
Two Participation Tracks :
Track 1 – JAX for Scientific Computing (Beginner Level)
This track is designed for researchers, engineers, and developers with experience in scientific computing, HPC, or numerical methods who are new to JAX.
Participants will be able to:
Learn JAX fundamentals through intensive "crash courses" each morning;
Apply their new skills to scientific computing use cases;
Build reproducible benchmarks to compare JAX against standard scientific frameworks.
Track 2 – Pushing the Limits of JAX (Advanced Level)
This track is designed for experienced JAX users wishing to explore its performance and scalability on HPC systems.
Participants will be able to:
Work on real-world JAX applications throughout the event;
Investigate multi-GPU and multi-node scaling on Jean Zay;
Identify bottlenecks, missing features, and optimization opportunities;
Produce advanced performance and scalability studies.
