session ‘Planning for Liquid Cooling in the Data Centre’ on Monday 13 July, 3.30pm to 4.30pm at Booth 210 in Hall 3, Messe Frankfurt. Panellists include representatives from Te Green Grid, Hewlett Packard, Intel, IBM Research Zurich, Iceotope, and the University of Leeds. CoolIT is also supporting two teams (Technical University of Chemnitz, Germany, and Jamia Millia Islamia University, India) in the ISC15 Student Cluster Competition. www.coolitsystems.com


Te CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd (booth #1411) proudly presents its supercomputing and


cloud computing services for R&D, including: l Capacity Computing – Supercluster Taito: solving our customers´ problems, from single core jobs to parallel jobs of several hundred cores.


l Capability Computing – Supercomputer Sisu: speeding up the customers’ computational projects by large-scale parallel computing requiring exceptionally powerful supercomputing resources.


l Accelerated Computing: specialised, energy- efficient Taito Accelerator Parition (Bull supercomputer), providing our customers with the latest computing technologies and GPU computing. CSC’s cloud computing platforms, cPouta and


Under the sign ‘Modelling and Simulation for Everyone!’ Comsol (booth #929) will showcase its flagship product, Comsol Multiphysics, along with the revolutionary Application Builder and Comsol Server soſtware. Innovative applications encapsulate all important aspects of a simulation and run in major web browsers as well as in its own desktop-installed client, enabling everyone who could benefit from simulations to use them. Even beginners can use the built-in HPC functionality to offload to cloud or cluster. Comsol will also present its unique


new licensing model for HPC. Te Server soſtware offers a licence model for hosting COMSOL Applications and execution of HPC-jobs. It allows for server-, cluster- and cloud computations on an unlimited number of cores, sockets or nodes. Another highlight will be the collaboration with Fujitsu and the Ready-to-Go+ packages. RTG+ gets you started with HPC and Comsol Multiphysics at the push of a button. Modelling and simulation for Everyone!


It is happening as you read this. Don’t be leſt behind. See it for yourself at booth 929. www.comsol.com

DDN’s (booth #1010) innovative technology has been proven, for over 15 years, to resolve high performance storage challenges, in-production in the world’s largest and most demanding environments. DDN solutions can be relied on to deliver unrivalled performance, scalability, and availability, so it is no surprise we power over two-thirds of the Top100 fastest systems on the planet. Whether you need to accelerate your data-intensive applications and workflows, or start small and scale, DDN can help. Visit the stand to meet the European technical team and see a live preview of DDN’s HPC Burst Buffer and Exascale Architecture – Infinite Memory Engine (IME). DDN will be


ePouta: offering high-performance computing with superior flexibility and user experience via Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). cPouta offers a general-purpose IaaS cloud while ePouta is secure private cloud for organisations. Te leading-edge Kajaani datacentre was


upgraded to meet the needs for our customers. www.csc.fi


The European Exascale Projects (booth #634), composed of CRESTA, DEEP/-ER, EPiGRAM, EXA2CT, Mont-Blanc and Numexas, continue their joint activities at this year’s ISC. Te projects host a workshop on 16 July


entitled ‘Is Europe Ready for Exascale? A Summary of Four Years of European Exascale Research’. In three sessions, the projects elaborate


hosting its User Group on Tuesday 14 July to discuss how leading HPC organisations are enabling new levels of research and commercial collaboration, as well as attending the Vendor Showdown on Monday 13 July at 1.49pm and Exhibitor Forum on Wednesday 15 July at 10.40am. www.ddn.com


EPCC (booth #1203) is a unique centre for advanced computing and the management and use of data. We research and develop novel computing solutions; write soſtware; manage computing and data systems, and provide HPC and data-related training. Our combination of resources and expertise is unmatched by any European university. Clients and partners include local and global industry, government and academia. At our booth this year you can learn about


our work with the Fortissimo project, which enables manufacturing SMEs to benefit from HPC simulations; our efforts to improve diversity with Women in HPC; EPCC’s unique MSc in HPC; the Intel Parallel Computing Centre, and ARCHER, the UK’s national supercomputing service. www.epcc.ed.ac.uk


on first results, challenges faced, and insights gained, which forms the basis for sharing of best practices and intensive discussions. Te programme is designed to address an extensive range of Exascale aspects ranging from hardware development to changing programming paradigms or novel algorithms and user-friendly tools. Hence the agenda will appeal to a broad audience from computer and application scientists, to hardware developers, soſtware engineers, junior scientists, industrial users or HPC vendors. Additionally, the projects welcome conference


attendees at the booth during the exhibition: DEEP/-ER and Mont-Blanc will show the latest hardware; EXA2CT presents proto-applications and soſtware libraries; EPiGRAM focuses on Message Passing and PGAS; NUMEXAS develops unstructured meshers and embedded methods for industry. www.exascale-projects.eu

Sheffield-based Iceotope (booth #1414) will be demonstrating its pioneering approach to liquid cooling and heat recovery by taking a fully working total liquid cooling system to ISC. Iceotope’s liquid cooled servers have


the potential to halve the energy usage of supercomputing sites and will allow HPC users much greater freedom when designing, locating, and building their facilities. Iceotope’s heat harvesting technology has been designed with research facilities in mind and will provide a compelling alternative to the traditional, air cooled servers presented at the show, upon which most HPC facilities are still based. Te company recently announced its product family PetaGen, and welcomes you on the stand if you’re interested in learning more. www.iceotope.com


Micron Technology (booth #1216) provides advanced memory systems and solutions focused on enabling the world’s most leading- edge technologies for computing, consumer,
