Workshop Overview – What to Expect
This one-day workshop offers a clear and accessible introduction to key HPC applications, technologies, and professional practices. Through presentations from Cerfacs, Sorbonne University, CALMIP, and the Tempus project, participants will discover how HPC is used across research and industry. The program also includes testimonials from EUMaster4HPC alumni, providing concrete insights into career opportunities in the HPC ecosystem. Designed for audiences familiar with HPC but not necessarily specialists, the workshop fosters exchanges, questions, and networking.
Funded under the European EUMaster4HPC project, this workshop is free of charge and open to EUMaster4HPC students as well as individuals affiliated with institutions or organisations that are members of the EUMaster4HPC Consortium. For any additional information, please feel free to contact Jean-Christophe Jouhaud at : jjouhaud@cerfacs.fr

09h45: Welcome coffee for participants
10h10: Opening by Catherine LAMBERT (Cerfacs) – President of Cerfacs
Cerfacs, which became an SAS in January 2021, is a center for research, development, transfer and training in simulation, modelling and high-performance computing, mainly for the benefit of its industrial and public sector partners: Airbus Group, Cnes, EDF, Météo France, Onera, Safran and TotalEnergies. It is also associated with partners like CNRS (Joint Research Unit), Inria (joint laboratory with Airbus), CEA and IMFT (cooperation agreements).
10h30: Žarko ASEN (Tempus) – Research consultant in DSP and machine learning
« A correction to support vector machine theory and kernel manifolds as implemented in the Temp software package »
Tempus is a project I’ve been working on for the past 10 years with the support of about 20 experts, professors and engineers from Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Israel, Northern Macedonia, Russia and Ukraine focused on time-series analysis in (near) real-time. It aims to produce the highest precision forecast of time-series data on the market.
11h30: Mathieu SALANNE (Sorbonne University) – Professor/Physical Chemistry Expert
« Development of a molecular dynamics HPC software: from theory to industrial applications »
Sorbonne Université is one of the eight awarding universities of the Pan-European High Performance Computing Pilot Master's programme, “EUMaster4HPC”. This programme brings together major players in HPC education in Europe and emphasizes collaboration across Europe with innovative teaching paradigms such as co-teaching and strong connections with the industry and the best specialists in HPC education to develop the most relevant and up-to-date teaching content.
12h30: Standing lunch / buffet
13h30: Joeffrey LEGAUX (Cerfacs) – Research Engineer in HPC
« Leveraging new hardware architectures for legacy HPC softwares: a retrospective and future trends »
Digital simulation using High-Performance Computing (HPC) is a major challenge for companies and research organizations. The European Center for Advanced Research and Training in Scientific Computing (Cerfacs) has had this in its DNA for over 35 years.
14h30: Alejandro ESTANA (Calmip) – HPC and AI Research Engineer
“CALMIP Mesocentre: Kairos Supercomputer (#1 @ Green500) for HPC and AI”
CALMIP is the high-performance computing (HPC) mesocentre of the Occitanie region, structured as a Research Support Unit dedicated to serving the scientific community. It provides laboratories with a powerful HPC infrastructure, including the Olympe supercomputer, along with technical and scientific support. Computing resources are allocated through an annual call for proposals evaluated by a specialized committee. The mesocentre also offers training sessions and research data management services. Open to industry as well, CALMIP plays a key role in advancing HPC in the Occitanie region (France).
15h30: Coffee break
15h40: Emeric MARTIN, Jean-Baptiste CHAPELIER, Gabriel STAFFELBACH, Laurent FRANCOIS, Sébastien BOURASSEAU and Christophe BOVET (ONERA) – Research Scientists
« Powering Aerospace Innovation: High Performance Computing at ONERA »
ONERA, the French Aerospace Lab is France's national research center for aeronautics, space and defense. A multi-disciplinary organization, it bridges the gap between academic research and industrial applications. With a unique array of world-class experimental and numerical facilities (wind tunnels, HPC clusters, laser/optics platforms, simulation tools/libraries/frameworks, etc.), ONERA contributes directly to major civil and military programs, including the Airbus fleet, and Ariane launchers. The organization focuses on innovation, advancing technology in aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials to define the future of sustainable aviation and defense sovereignty.
16h40: Erik FABRIZZI, Audic XU and Razvan VASS – Former EUMaster4HPC students
« Alumni Testimonials from the EUMaster4HPC Program »
Three former students of the EUMaster4HPC Master's program will share their experiences and discuss their career paths after completing the M2. They will present their new positions and highlight the skills acquired during the program that supported their entry into the HPC job market. This session offers current students a valuable opportunity to engage with young professionals and gain practical insights for their own future careers.
