Abstract
In this talk, Professor Matej Praprotnik will present MultiXscale – a EuroHPC JU Center of Excellence in exascale-oriented application co-design and delivery for multiscale simulations. MultiXscale involves 16 consortium partners who jointly develop multiscale simulation software to solve societal challenges associated with biomedicine, the transition to sustainable energy, and civil transport by supercomputers.
The goal of MultiXscale is to develop software for computationally efficient multiscale simulations running on (pre)exascale HPC systems. The computer simulation codes and developed multiscale workflows will be openly accessible to researchers and engineers, user-friendly, easy-to-install, and with sustainable user support.
About the Speaker
Matej Praprotnik is Head of the Laboratory for Molecular Modeling at the National Institute of Chemistry and professor of Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana. He has held visiting scientist positions at the Computational Science & Engineering Laboratory (ETH Zurich), the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications (University of Minnesota), the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (University of California, Santa Barbara), and the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics China (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing). Matej is former Chair of the PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) Scientific Steering Committee. He served as President of the Slovenian Biophysical Society from 2015 to 2019.
His research is focused on computer simulation of soft and biological matter. The focus is on developing and combining innovative computational and theoretical methods augmented by machine learning techniques to study complex molecular systems.
About the EuroCC-2 project
EuroCC 2 will work to identify and address the skills gaps in the European High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem and coordinate cooperation across Europe to ensure a consistent skills base.
The role of EuroCC 2 is to establish and run a network of more than 30 NCCs across the EuroHPC Participating States. The NCCs act as single points of access in each country between stakeholders and national and EuroHPC systems. They operate on a regional and national level to liaise with local communities, in particular SMEs, map HPC competencies and facilitate access to European HPC resources for users from the private and public sector.
EuroCC 2 delivers training, interacts with industry, develops competence mapping and communication materials and activities, and supports the adoption of HPC services in other related fields, such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), high performance data analytics (HPDA) to expand the HPC user base.
This project has received funding from the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 101101903. The JU receives support from the European Union’s programme Digital Europe and Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg , Slovakia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, the Republic of North Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro and Serbia.
