1. Welcome

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the 23rd issue of the EXCELLERAT newsletter!

As summer transitions into autumn, we are excited to share the latest developments and achievements from our community. This issue highlights our active participation in global events and collaborations that help to advance high-performance computing (HPC).

One of our key moments this season was the 53rd International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP ’24) in Gotland, Sweden, where EXCELLERAT presented significant advancements in distributed data-parallel visualisation. We also reflect on our strategic partnership with the Horizon Results Booster, which is amplifying our efforts to maximise research impact across the HPC landscape. Additionally, we bring you insights from the recent Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting, showcasing our work in engineering design and digital twin technology for nuclear fusion reactors.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue and participate in some of our upcoming events in the fall.

Best regards,

Bastian Koller
EXCELLERAT P2 Project Coordinator

2. Blog article: EXCELLERAT Presents Advancements in Distributed Data-Parallel Visualization at ICPP '24

A speaker is standing behind a podium in a dark auditorium, presenting at a conference. The slide projected behind him is titled "Overview," with sections for "Project Introduction" and "Visualization developments." The slide includes a map of Europe, highlighting various locations and logos, and an image of a visualization setup with 3D graphics.
At the 53rd International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP ’24) in Gotland, Sweden, EXCELLERAT highlighted its significant contribution to the field of parallel computing. On August 14, Dennis Grieger presented EXCELLERAT's latest work on distributed data-parallel visualisation, focusing on advancements made with Vistle, a cutting-edge tool for interactive visualisation and data analysis. This scalable solution is tailored for large-scale simulation datasets, enhancing both remote rendering and in situ visualisation capabilities. Learn more about our contributions to ICPP ’24 in our blog article.

3. Blog article: EXCELLERAT and Horizon Results Booster: A Strategic Collaboration for Advancing HPC

Strategic collaborations are vital in the fast-evolving world of HPC. EXCELLERAT's partnership with the Horizon Results Booster (HRB) exemplifies this, helping us amplify the dissemination and exploitation of our research outcomes. This collaboration has provided us with essential resources and expertise, enabling us to enhance our impact within the engineering and HPC communities. Through joint strategies, advanced business planning, and capacity-building efforts, EXCELLERAT is making strides in translating research into practical, market-ready solutions. Learn more about this activity in a recent blog article.

4. Blog article: Insights from the Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2024

A speaker is presenting in a well-lit conference room. The slide projected on the screen behind him discusses the "Determination of requirements" for nuclear fusion diagnostics, featuring diagrams of a tokamak structure and a poloidal cross-section. Attendees are seated facing the speaker, with some banners on the right side displaying information about EuroCC Austria, SLING Slovenia, and their support for high-performance computing (HPC) initiatives.
The Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2024, held in Grundlsee, Austria, was a significant event for the HPC community. This year's meeting highlighted the collaboration between Austrian and Slovenian experts, focusing on their latest advancements in HPC applications. EXCELLERAT partners Tina C. Marc and Matic Brank presented a fascinating use case involving a digital twin of a Tokamak fusion reactor’s first wall, emphasizing the role of HPC in enhancing the safety and efficiency of nuclear fusion reactors.
