For three days, from 20 to 22 December, Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains hosted the third edition of the conference “GridLab – The Next 3rd Decade and the Future of Computing”, organised in cooperation with the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Wyoming. The event was attended by guests from the United States, Austria, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.
The GridLab project formally ended in 2004, but every 10 years, representatives of the institutions involved in the project meet to share knowledge and results of their current research and analysis. This year’s edition was no different.
The meeting was initiated by Dr Krzysztof Kurowski- Deputy Director of PSNC. The main theme of the conference “GridLab – The Next 3rd Decade and the Future of Computing” was the new challenges arising in the development of the IT infrastructure of science, as well as the new and numerous applications of computer simulations in the perspective of the next decade.
Jaroslaw Nabrzyski, from the University of Notre Dame, took part in many discussions, that revealed the landscape of future challenges and opportunities, highlighting the commitment of the various project partners to innovation and excellence.
Zakopane managed to bring together a large number of experts from Europe and the United States to present and discuss the latest innovative solutions using supercomputing with a strong emphasis on new breakthrough areas related to quantum technologies and new applications of artificial intelligence.
Over the three days of the event, there were 21 presentations on topics such as big data, computational science for the predictability of Earth systems, digital twins, advanced visualisation and immersive technologies, information processing and quantum computing. The GridLab workshop was an interdisciplinary meeting based on the synergy of experts from many fields of science and business, because true innovation happens at the intersection of different disciplines.
