Supercomputing Conference 2024

Destination Earth (DestinE) featured at the Supercomputing Conference 2024 (SC24), in Atlanta, USA.

SC24 is the world’s largest gathering focused on all aspects of high-performance computing (HPC). Each year, it brings together students and professionals from across the globe to exchange best practices in areas like algorithms, cloud and distributed computing, machine learningField of statistical research focused on training computatio More, programming systems, and much more. The technical programme at SC is a hub of knowledge-sharing, featuring presentations, tutorials, panels, and discussion forums designed to spotlight breakthroughs and spark innovation in the HPC field. It’s within this dynamic programme that DestinE makes its mark.

Peter Dueben, ECMWF’s Head of Earth System Modelling, and Senior Computational Scientist Ioan Hadade attended the conference to showcase ECMWF’s work on AI-driven forecasts, data streaming, and other key elements of the Destination Earth initiative (DestinE).

On Tuesday, 19 November, Ioan Hadade participated in the session “Building a Global Data Streaming Community: Lessons Learnt, Potential Tools, Challenges and Opportunities — The European and U.S. Ecosystems Address the Latest Paradigm Shift Towards Global Data Streaming in Large Data Systems.” The panel gathered experts from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss data streaming techniques for HPC.

On Thursday, 21 November, Peter Dueben delivered a presentation on the three revolutions that have shaped Earth system modelling over recent decades: the quiet revolution, the digital revolution, and the machine learningField of statistical research focused on training computatio More revolution. He also addressed the future of Earth system modelling in a talk titled “The Digital Revolution of Earth System Modelling.”
