1. Welcome
|
Welcome to the 33rd issue of the EXCELLERAT newsletter!
|
This spring has been a particularly active period for the EXCELLERAT community. Over the past months, we participated in several important events, including our first presence at Hannover Messe 2026 and our continued engagement with the aerospace community at AERO Friedrichshafen. At the same time, we also launched a new EXCELLERAT webinar series dedicated to collaboration opportunities around HPC, HPDA, and AI, creating a new platform for knowledge exchange between research and industry.
|
As we now look ahead to the summer, preparations are already underway for upcoming events such as ISC High Performance 2026 in Hamburg and further activities across the European HPC ecosystem.
|
In this issue, we are pleased to share insights from the first webinar session on industry collaboration, reflections from Hannover Messe 2026, and a new success story video from Barcelona Supercomputing Center showcasing GPU-enabled aerodynamics simulations.

We hope you enjoy reading!

|
|
This year, EXCELLERAT P2 launched a new webinar series dedicated to exploring collaboration opportunities around High-Performance Computing, High-Performance Data Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence. The series aims to share practical experiences and lessons learned from EXCELLERAT partners while encouraging exchange across the European HPC ecosystem.
|
|
The first session's insights were covered in a recent blog article by TERATEC and the session recording is available online.

|
|
EXCELLERAT P2 participated for the first time at Hannover Messe 2026, one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for industrial transformation. Across the exhibition, topics such as artificial intelligence, simulation, digital twins, automation, and data-driven engineering clearly demonstrated how digital technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into industrial strategies and processes. For EXCELLERAT, the event confirmed the growing relevance of high-performance computing, large-scale simulation workflows, AI, and advanced digital engineering solutions for industry.
|
The fair also highlighted the importance of collaboration across industrial and research ecosystems. Many companies increasingly rely on partnerships with technology providers, research institutions, and innovation networks to develop and deploy advanced digital capabilities. For EXCELLERAT, Hannover Messe remains a valuable opportunity to observe evolving industrial needs, connect research excellence with practical applications, and strengthen collaboration around simulation-driven innovation.
