Seminar Centre Point Centre (Gosselies)
Want to accelerate your business? Curious about High-Performance Computing (HPC)  or need assistance to start new activities in this field? Join our event & discover how supercomputing can speed up your computations and make your business more efficient. During this event, we will highlight the services provided by EuroCC Belgium

HPC Story: Interview with K. Hoste on Easybuild: Part 2

EasyBuild logo
Easybuild is a software that allows to maintain a consistent central software stack without compromising on the performance of the installations, installed on many supercomputer facilities in the world. Here is the second part of the interview with Kenneth Hoste, one of the main developers!

Talks with Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner

Dr. Rolf Rabenseifner at the colloquium organised by HLRS in his honour in May 2022
MPI heavyweight Dr Rolf Rabenseifner has recently retired. However, we could catch the former Head of Parallel Computing, Training and Application Services at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), University of Stuttgart, for an extensive talk.

The EuroCC project

EuroCC bg

EuroCC is a project launched by the European High-Performance Computing (Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC-JU). EuroHPC-JU is a joint initative between the EU, European countries and private stakeholders to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem in Europe. Its goal is to coordinate the effort of the participating countries to deploy exascale (more than one billion billion, i.e., 1018, operations)  supercomputers in Europe.

User story: Unraveling the behavior of the hIDO1 protein

Thanks to computer simulations, the behaviour of the dynamic loop of hIDO1 during substrate positioning was unravelled.
Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach involving crystallographic studies and simulation performed on CECI’s supercomputers, Manon Mirgaux (University of Namur) was able to unravel the dynamic behaviour of the protein hIDO1. This protein is a target for immunotherapy, and understanding its dynamism is a key ingredient towards the design of new drugs, including the treatment of cancer.

User story: Role of supercomputing in High-Resolution Air Quality Modelling for the Oosterweelverbinding

Difference in NO2 concentrations between two possible scenarios that have been calculated
The Oosterweelverbinding project was set up to improve the accessibility to the port and the city region of Antwerp by completing the ring road around Antwerp (R1) on the north side. Wouter Lefebvre, researcher at VITO explains how HPC infrastructure was indispensable in providing the calculations for the high-resolution air quality modelling for the Environmental Impact Assessment Report in the context of the Oosterweelverbinding.
