Inauguration of theVirtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing
Date
July 4, 2007
Location
Forschungszentrum Jülich
The Virtual Institute High-Productivity Supercomputing (VI-HPS) is a joint institute of Forschungszentrum Jülich, RWTH Aachen University, Technische Universität Dresden, and the University of Tennessee. It has been founded to combine the expertise of the four partners with the goal of improving the quality and accelerating the development process of complex simulation codes in science and engineering that are being designed for the most advanced parallel computer systems. Our mission is to develop integrated state-of-the-art programming tools for high-performance computing that assist programmers in diagnosing programming errors and optimizing the performance of their applications. The collaboration of the four partners is sponsored by the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. Helmholtz centers and universities establish "virtual institutes" to concentrate research capacities and thereby create centers of excellence of international standing in key areas of research.
The virtual institute will be inaugurated with a half-day colloquium held at Forschungszentrum Jülich on July 4, 2007:
