The Energy oriented Centre of Excellence EoCoE actively contributed to the HiPEAC 2025 conference, held at the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, Spain last January. As a hub for cutting-edge discussions in high-performance, edge, and cloud computing, HiPEAC provided EoCoE with an excellent opportunity to share its latest advancements in applying HPC to energy research.
EoCoE played a key role in organizing two dedicated workshops exploring how EuroHPC Centres of Excellence (CoEs) are addressing the challenges of exascale computing. These sessions, held on the first and third days of the conference, brought together experts from across Europe to discuss critical topics, including scientific workflows, mixed-precision computing, co-design strategies, and visualization tools. The workshops featured panel discussions and technical presentations, drawing participation from all EuroHPC CoEs and key European HPC initiatives.
A strong emphasis was placed on diversity and inclusion, with a broad lineup of speakers that included early-career researchers and experts from underrepresented groups. By fostering an open and collaborative atmosphere, the sessions encouraged new perspectives and promoted greater equity in the HPC community.
EoCoE contributions to the field were further highlighted in a presentation by Kevin Obrejan from CEA, who shared insights into the project latest research in computational modeling for fusion energy. The talk, titled “From Gysela to Gysela-X++: rebuilding a tokamak plasma simulation code from the ground up to prepare for the exascale”, sparked an engaging discussion during the Q&A session, reinforcing EoCoE impact on the broader HPC ecosystem.
In addition, EoCoE work was featured in the European projects poster session, where representatives from E4 Computer Engineering presented the project latest results. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with EoCoE researchers, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations.
With a strong presence at HiPEAC 2025, EoCoE continues to push the boundaries of HPC for energy applications, supporting Europe transition to a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
