HPC Advancing Science: Highlights 2024
DescriptionSupercomputers are powerful scientific instruments, continuously delivering impressive breakthroughs in fields as diverse as materials science, medicine, climate research, and fundamental sciences. We, the HPC community, tend to focus our discussions at workshops and conferences on our own hardware and software achievements, often forgetting the ultimate purpose of our whole endeavor, which is to build and operate systems that advance science and engineering, and ultimately contribute to a better society. It is therefore worth taking a step back to look at some of the major scientific achievements that scientists around the world have been able to achieve thanks to the use of our beloved HPC infrastructures. This talk will showcase a selection of major scientific or engineering highlights recently published by users of current HPC systems around the world, demonstrating by example the major impact of HPC on science and society.
