IXPUG Annual Conference 2022

The 2022 IXPUG Annual Conference will be hosted by Argonne National Laboratory. HPC users and enthusiasts across the globe are invited to attend and participate. Join us to share experiences with all aspects of adopting and employing state-of-the-art technologies and practices for optimal application execution on Intel XPU platforms. Through our interactive, open forum IXPUG brings together speakers across supercomputing, including renowned industry leaders, and experts from Intel. Together we share real-world experiences, best practices, and techniques for maximizing software productivity and efficiency.

Event Description: IXPUG Annual Conference 2022 will feature keynote/invited talks, 30-minute technical sessions, lightning talks, site updates, and hands-on tutorials. The conference draws expert software developers, scientists, researchers, academics, systems analysts, students, and end-users for technical discussion and networking. Challenges surrounding application performance and scalability will be covered across all levels, including tuning and optimization of diverse sets of applications on large-scale HPC systems. This includes system hardware beyond the processor (memory, interconnects, etc.), accelerators (e.g., GPUs, FPGAs), as well as topics related to oneAPI, software tools, programming models, HPC workloads, and more. Key themes: high-performance computing, data analytics, artificial intelligence (machine learning and deep learning), HPC in the cloud, and COVID-19 related biomedical simulations and data analytics applications.
