ExCL at SC24: Advancing the Future of HPC Testbeds

1 minute read

We are thrilled to announce that ExCL (Experimental Computing Laboratory) was an active participant at SC24! This year, we contributed to the Birds of a Feather (BoF) session focused on testbeds for the exascale and post-exascale era, exploring the forefront of HPC innovation.

Here is the reference to the talk:

Monil, Mohammad Alaul Haque. “Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL) Update—November 2024.” Presentation at SC24, November 2024.

Monil presented ExCL during the “Advanced Architecture ‘Playgrounds’—Past Lessons, Current and Future Accesses of Testbeds” Birds of a Feather panel at SC24.

More information can be found at the SC24 Website.

About the Session

Testbeds: Pioneering the Future of Supercomputing
Testbeds are critical for evaluating the readiness of novel architectures as we move toward exascale and post-exascale computing. They serve as hubs for co-design, helping researchers gather operational requirements from applications and identify critical gaps that need to be addressed for future architectures to succeed in HPC environments.

At the BoF session, experts shared insights into:

  • Designing innovative testbeds
  • Benchmarking for performance and readiness
  • Evaluating systems with real-world applications
  • Best practices and collaboration across research centers

The discussion fostered an invaluable exchange of knowledge and strengthened our collective understanding of the resources needed to tackle the next generation of computational challenges.

ExCL’s Role

ExCL’s mission is to drive innovation and research in computer science, HPC, and microelectronics by enabling researchers with flexible access to a diverse selection of cutting-edge systems and testbeds complete with infrastructure in place to support collaborative research in a heterogeneous cluster environment. At SC24, we shared our experiences, learned from our peers, and contributed to shaping the community’s vision for the future of HPC architectures.

We look forward to building on these discussions and continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in high-performance computing and advanced heterogeneous testbeds.
