Research Software Engineering in HPC
- Michele Martone (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre)
In the field of extragalactic astronomy we have typical two groups: The observers and the theorists. The nature of the data these two groups work with is very different: Observers count photons with the instrument detectors and theorists work with particles that have specific physical properties. This results in a rather small scientific exchange between both groups.
Generally, there are two...
This presentation explores experimental platform and software engineering approaches for providing high-performance computing infrastructure to interdisciplinary research projects in the humanities and the applied sciences. Two research projects are presented that demonstrate very different use cases, both in terms of scale and functional requirements.
"[#Vortanz][1]" was a project running...
HPC-oriented Research Software Engineers are often required to perform optimization and parallelization on unfamiliar codebases.
This activity is of utter importance, as it allows scientific research to make use of increasingly powerful (and increasingly complex) supercomputing infrastructure.
In this talk I will share the experiences and lessons learned in the process of parallelizing...
High resolution video recordings at high frame rates are necessary for a variety of research projects. This can pose a challenge for systems in terms of hard- and software, particularly if multiple streams need to be recorded simultaneously. The aim of this project was to design a setup that would allow for the recording of multiple streams at high frame rates and various image resolutions,...
