Event format: hybrid (at Barcelona Supercomputing Center and online)
The workshop on High-Performance Computing (HPC) Visualization will focusing on cutting-edge tools and techniques for handling the vast datasets produced by large-scale simulations and observational surveys in astrophysics and cosmology.
The growing complexity of astrophysical and cosmological data—whether from massive simulations or large-scale observational campaigns—requires powerful visualization tools to extract scientific insights. However, implementing these tools efficiently on diverse HPC platforms presents challenges such as hardware and software compatibility, scalability, and resource optimization.
This workshop will explore strategies to overcome these challenges and highlight recent advances in high-performance visualization, including:
While the primary focus is on astrophysics and cosmology, these techniques have broad applications across other scientific domains dealing with large and complex datasets. We encourage participation from researchers and developers interested in state-of-the-art visualization methods.
This workshop is an initiative of the SPACE Centre of Excellence, an EU-funded project dedicated to enabling flagship European Astrophysics and Cosmology (A&C) simulation codes to run efficiently on pre-exascale and exascale architectures. Within this framework, we aim to develop advanced software solutions for data access, storage, and analysis, ensuring that HPC visualization keeps pace with the increasing complexity of simulation-driven research.
The High-Performance Computing Visualization Workshop, organized with the support of NCC Czechia and CASTIEL2, will be a hybrid event, held online via Zoom and on-site at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Before the event, technical details will be sent to the accepted registrants.
The on-site capacity is limited to 25 participants, online participation is unlimited. The course is open to participants from the Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU) and Associated/Other Countries to the Horizon Europe programme.
Participation in the course is free of charge; however, participants must arrange travel and accommodation at their own expense. Registered participants will receive a list of recommended hotels, including special room rates.
