SUPERCOMPUTING FRONTIERS EUROPE

...will explore visionary trends and innovations in HPC and computational science

SCFE is a platform for the thought leaders from both academia and industry to interact and discuss visionary ideas, the most important global trends and substantial innovations in supercomputing. Each year we focus on somewhat different topics, but we always focus on ideas that are most innovative, most ingenious and have potential to change the course of supercomputing. We also highlight research domains that might present the greatest potential of becoming the leading applications of supercomputers in the future.
Supercomputing Frontiers Europe 2022 will take place from 11 to 15 July, 2022 and will be the eighth edition of the annual conference. The event aims to enable the widest participation of HPC enthusiasts from all around the world, to learn, share and advance.

Call for papers

Supercomputing Frontiers Europe conference wishes to spotlight trendsetters and young members of our community with ground breaking ideas which have the potential to change the course of supercomputing. The conference is a platform where we also highlight research domains that might present the greatest potential of becoming the leading applications of supercomputers in the future.
SCFE22 invites original contributions on all topics related to supercomputing, including, but not limited to:
  • Hybrid quantum computing and HPC
  • Hybrid cloud/HPC
  • Convergence of HPC, AI and Big Data
  • Omics and Systems Biology
  • Storage class memory
  • Special architectures
  • Deep learning computing – TPU, GPU and beyond
  • Problem Solving Environments
  • …and more.
The SCFE 2022 paper submission closing date is April 30th, 2022.

From Singapore to Warsaw – the history of supercomputing frontiers

The first three editions of 'Supercomputing Frontiers’ conferences were organized in Singapore by A*STAR Computational Resource Centre and National Supercomputing Centre Singapore, initiated by dr. Marek Michalewicz, former Chief Executive Officer at A*STAR Computational Resource Centre. The fourth and succeeding editions were moved to Poland, renamed to 'Supercomputing Frontiers Europe’ and organized by Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computer Modeling (ICM), University of Warsaw.
The word frontiers in the conference’s name is to be interpreted in a very broad sense, where the frontiers don’t matter when one talks about science.
The previous conferences showcased a successful scientific program with outstanding speakers including, but not limited to:
  • Roberto Car (Princeton University) | 2021
  • Irene Qualters (US Department of Energy) | 2021
  • Hiroaki Kinatno (the Systems Biology Institute) | 2021
  • Anders Dam Jensen (EuroHPC JU) | 2021
  • James K. Gimzewski (University of California) | 2020
  • Rob Knight (University of California) | 2020
  • Ziogas Aleksandros Nikolaos (ETH Zurich) |2020
  • Rupak Biswas (NASA Ames Research Centre) | 2019
  • Leon Chua (University of California Berkeley)| 2019
  • Paul Mesina (Argonne National Laboratory) | 2019
  • Whitfield Diffie | 2018
  • Thomas Sterling (Indiana University) | 2018
  • Karlheinz Meier (Heidelberg University) | 2018
  • Dimitr Kusnezov (Department of Energy) | 2018

Supercomputing Frontiers Europe Digital
The last two editions of SCFE were conducted in a virtual form due to an on-going pandemic. The change of the format allowed us to get to a wider audience from all around the world. SCFE20 was viewed in 67 countries while SCFE21 reached 77 countries. The amount of registrations quadrupled. From an on-site attendance of around 200 people to digital editions gathering 750+ people, the switch has proven to be very successful.

Virtual ICM Seminars

With the reception of the virtual SCFE 2020 event exceeding our expectations, we have decided to maintain momentum and to provide a monthly platform for HPC and computing science community through the Virtual ICM Seminars in Computer and Computational Science – the series, which have already attracted 1330 viewers. 

Next Virtual ICM Seminar will be held on December 16th and will host prof. Wiesław Nowiński who is the creator of the „world’s most gorgeous” human brain atlases.
