InPEx Birds of a Feather - SuperComputing 2023
November 15, 2023 - 17:15 (301-303)
The International Post-Exascale (InPEx) workshop series will present a Birds of a Feather during the The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (Nov. 12–17, 2023, Denver, CO).
The BoF, bringing together leading experts in the field of HPC, aims to foster the community on post-Exascale R&D and build on transnational initiatives such as NumPEx, EuroHPC, ECP, Fugaku-Next around critical subjects like soft production, HPC/AI convergence, energy, etc.
The InPEx BoF will be chaired by Dr. Emmanuel Jeannot (Inria)
10’ : General goal of the BoF and the InPEx workshop series – Dr. Pete Beckman (NAISE), Dr. Jean-Yves Berthou (Inria)
20’ : International program

InPEx BoF Organisers
Pete Beckman
Pete Beckman is a Distinguished Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory and the Co-Director of the Northwestern University / Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering. His current research interests include extreme scale operating systems, low-level system software, artificial intelligence at the edge, smart sensing, and distributed sensor networks. He is PI of the Argo project which is building low-level system software for the Extreme Computing Project and he is also the PI for the NSF SAGE project building a national infrastructure for software-defined sensors and artificial intelligence at the edge. Beckman received his Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University.
Jean-Yves Berthou
Dr. Jean Yves Berthou joined Inria in February 2019 as director of the Inria Saclay Research Center. He is the co-Director of the French Exascale program NumPEx. For last 15 years, Jean-Yves was regularly called upon by the European Commission for expert missions, particularly in the fields of High Performance Computing, open science or research and innovation strategy. He was part of the European Commission's high-level expert group on the European Open Science Cloud in 2016. He initiated in 2010 EESI's European support action, the European Exascale Software Initiative, www.eesi-project.eu.
Jack Dongarra
Jack Dongarra specializes in numerical algorithms in linear algebra, parallel computing, the use of advanced computer architectures, programming methodology, and tools for parallel computers. He holds appointments at the University of Manchester, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Tennessee, where he founded the Innovative Computing Laboratory. In 2019 he received the ACM/SIAM Computational Science and Engineering Prize. In 2020 he received the IEEE-CS Computer Pioneer Award. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, ACM, IEEE, and SIAM; a foreign member of the British Royal Society and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Engineering. Most recently, he received the 2021 ACM A.M. Turing Award for his pioneering contributions to numerical algorithms and software that have driven decades of extraordinary progress in computing performance and applications.
Sergi Girona
Sergi Girona holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Universitat Politècnica de Cataluya – Barcelona Tech. Currently he is director of the Operations Department at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and the manager of the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES). Between 2013 and 2015, he was both chair of the Board of Directors of PRACE and its managing director. He joined BSC in 2004 for the installation of MareNostrum in Barcelona, which was at that time the largest supercomputer in Europe, a position that maintained for 3 years. Dr Girona was responsible for site preparation and coordination with IBM for the system installation. Today, his responsibilities include managing the operations group, which is responsible for providing user support and system administration of the various HPC systems at BSC. BSC has installed 4 MareNostrums' and, number 5 will come in production in 2023.
Emmanuel Jeannot
Emmanuel Jeannot is a senior research scientist at Inria Bordeaux. He got his PhD degree in computer science from the Ecole Normale Suprieure de Lyon (France) in 1999. From 2000 to 2005, he was assistant professor at the University Henry Poincaré in Nancy. From 2005 to 2009, he worked for the Nancy Grand-Est Inria research center. Additionally, in 2006 he was a visiting researcher at the University of Tennessee, ICL laboratory. Since 2009, Emmanuel Jeannot is conducting his research at INRIA Bordeaux Sud-Ouest (where he is leading the TADaaM team) and at the LaBRI laboratory of the University of Bordeaux. His main research interests span the vast domain of parallel and high-performance computing and more precisely: runtime systems, processes placement, topology-aware algorithms, scheduling for heterogeneous environments, data redistribution, I/O and storage, algorithms and models for parallel machines, adaptive online compression and programming models.
Satoshi Matsuoka
Satoshi Matsuoka has been the director of RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) since 2018. He is responsible for developing the supercomputer Fugaku which has become the fastest supercomputer in the world in all four major supercomputer rankings in 2020 and 2021 (Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, Graph500), along with multitudes of ongoing cutting edge HPC research being conducted, including investigating Post-Moore era computing, especially the future Fugaku NEXT supercomputer. He was the leader of the TSUBAME series of supercomputers that had also received many international acclaims, at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he still holds a professor position, to continue his research activities in HPC as well as scalable Big Data and AI. His longtime contribution for the computer science research was commended with the Medal of Honor with Purple ribbon by his Majesty Emperor of Japan in 2022.
Bernd Mohr - Division Head "Application Support", Forschungszentrum Jülich
Bernd Mohr has been a senior scientist at Forschungszentrum Juelich since 1996. Since 2000, he has been the team leader of the group ''Programming Environments and Performance Analysis''. Since October 2022, he also serves as head for the JSC division ''Application support'', for which he was deputy head for 15 years.
