“It was great to see a lot of participation, both in the meeting and in the planning for the meeting,” said ORNL’s Verónica Melesse Vergara, head of the HPC Operations Section for the NCCS. “We had great involvement from users themselves. The OLCF User Group Executive Board reviewed and selected the user-contributed talks to be presented at the meeting, and the program was built in collaboration with the users, which resulted in a very successful meeting.”
NCCS Director Arjun Shankar gave an update on the facility’s next high-performance computing system. The upcoming system, to be called Discovery, will be designed to offer new computational capabilities over Frontier, and is planned to be launched in 2028.
The meeting featured a showcase in the EVEREST visualization laboratory, where attendees could analyze simulation data generated on OLCF supercomputers and get an in-depth demonstration. They were also given a chance to try out the lab’s virtual reality capabilities to further immerse themselves in a simulated environment.
