Workshop – Hyperconnectivity for European HPC Supercomputers – Feedback from network providers

Description

Note: The Workshop presentations are available to view and download further below.

The workshop took place as part of the EuroHPC JU study called EuroHyPerCon which kicked off in October 2023. The Project is very relevant to network providers, HPC providers, users, and the EuroHPC ecosystem. The main scope of the EuroHyPerCon project is to identify and analyse the connectivity requirements of HPC systems in Europe and subsequently specify a future-proof connectivity service, along with its implementation roadmap. The study is a crucial cornerstone for the EuroHPC JU to develop further and improve the European HPC ecosystem, and thus, the engagement of network facility providers to provide feedback and suggest connectivity solutions is vital.

The workshop focused on the feedback from network providers through discussion on the structure and main concepts of a questionnaire to be used for gathering more feedback in the weeks to come. A great chance for networking and exchanging ideas!
