Intel Advancing the Landscape of Molecular Dynamics

The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In April 2023, the 82nd HPC User Forum took place in Princeton, New Jersey. This update summarizes a presentation from that conference given by William Dorland, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's (PPPL) first associate laboratory director for computational science. A renowned computational physicist, Dorland leads the effort to fulfill PPPL's expanded mission to develop computational science as a core capability that will provide high-performance computing support to understand and predict fusion plasma physics, design fusion facilities, and simulate complex plasma phenomena. His discussion at the April 2023 meeting covered some of the recent laboratory activities as well as milestones and his vision for the future.

The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In March 2022, the 78th HPC User Forum took place virtually. This update summarizes a presentation from that virtual conference given by Rebecca Hartman-Baker, the User Engagement Group Lead at NERSC. In addition to providing some background information and updates on the current activities at NERSC, Hartman-Baker explained new developments in checkpointing technology being leveraged as an enabling technology and the center's vision for the future.
