The Way Forward – Computing Continuum at HiPEAC conference in Munich
Leading the way for the computing continuum at HiPEAC 2024
- The nineteenth edition of the HiPEAC conference, the network’s flagship networking event, will take place on 17-19 January 2024 in Munich, Germany.
- More than 600 experts will come together to share insights into the future of computing systems, from edge to cloud to high-performance computing (HPC), with the computing continuum and edge AI forming a key focus.
Bringing computing systems together from all over the world, the nineteenth edition of the HiPEAC conference will take place in Munich this week. A highlight of the European computing systems’ community calendar, the event offers both unparalleled networking opportunities and the chance to identify priorities for future directions in the field. This year, the computing continuum and edge AI are central themes, complementing the conference’s traditional focus on high-performance and embedded architecture and compilation.
‘As an engineering hub with a rich academic tradition, Munich is a natural location for the HiPEAC conference,’ says HiPEAC 2024 General Chair Diana Göhringer (TU Dresden). ‘This year’s programme is a guide to the key trends in computing systems from across the computing continuum, with sessions on the latest machine-learning architectures, advances in neuromorphic and quantum computing as they move to the integration stage, made-in-Europe HPC, and the latest research on real-time, safety-critical systems.’
‘With registrations reaching near-record levels, the enduring appeal of the HiPEAC conference is once again clear,’ adds HiPEAC Coordinator Koen De Bosschere (Ghent University). ‘Alongside longstanding topics such as performance and energy, the HiPEAC conference offers an opportunity to reflect upon themes affecting the whole computing systems community, such as sustainability.’
HiPEAC 2024 will kick off with a keynote talk by Reetuparna Das (University of Michigan) exploring how genomics applications drive systems research. (Ghent University) will start Thursday’s talks with a keynote on sustainable computing systems. Following this, Jan Komarek, policy officer at the European Commission, will give a talk outlining policy directions relevant to the computing community. On Friday, 19 January, the final keynote talk, by , will discuss the design of the legendary ‘Fugaku’ supercomputer and challenges for post exascale computing.
