Introduction
The EuroHPC Summit Week (EHPCSW) 2022 will gather the main European HPC stakeholders from technology suppliers and HPC infrastructures to scientific and industrial HPC users in Europe. As in previous years, PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, organises the eighth edition of its Scientific and Industrial Conference (PRACEdays22) within the EHPCSW 2022. PRACEdays22 will bring together experts from academia and industry who will present their advancements in HPC-supported science and engineering. The EHPCSW 2022 will provide a great opportunity for the attendees to network.
The EHPCSW 2021 Digital welcomed 1161 active event platform users out of 1337 registered profiles.
The 2022 edition of the EuroHPC Summit Week will take place in
Paris, France from 22 to 24 March 2022.
The organisers of the EHPCSW 2022 are the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), the European Technology Platform for High-Performance Computing (ETP4HPC) and HPC GIG. The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the European Commission (EC) are also involved in the organisation of the conference. The logistical organisation is supported by the local host GENCI (https://www.genci.fr/en ).
The main conference will take place from Tuesday to Thursday and will include a selection of plenary and parallel sessions. The present Call for Contributions will define the programme of the PRACEdays22 parallel sessions.
A Call for Posters and a Call for Nominations for the PRACE Ada Lovelace Award for HPC complete the calls issued in the framework of PRACEdays22.
PRACEdays22 Call for Contributions
PRACE invites contributions for presentations of excellent scientific merit from scientists and researchers from academia and industry. Past and present users of PRACE resources, awardees of PRACE Project Access, DECI or SHAPE calls, are kindly requested to submit a contribution whenever they have scientific results to report. Scientists who did not benefit from PRACE allocations are besides eligible for the present Call for Contributions.
The conference programme provides space for presentations in a limited number of parallel sessions under PRACEdays22. The maximum length of each presentation is 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for questions from the audience.
PRACE supports diversity and inclusivity in HPC, and encourages applicants of all backgrounds to submit their application to the PRACEdays22 Call for Contributions and the PRACEdays22 Call for Posters.
