Slidecasts of Exascale Computing in Astrophysics Conference in Ascona, Switzerland
The Centro Stefano Franscini at Monte Verita, Ascona, Switzerland hosted 8 – 13 September 2013 the conference “Exascale Computing in Astrophysics“.
The conference did bring together key players in the computational astrophysics community to address the challenges of exascale computing by defining the scientific cases with potential new discoveries that require exascale computing power and re-examine our basic algorithms to fit the architectures of exascale computing.
The conference has been organized by Romain Teyssier and George Lake (University of Zurich), together with Claudio Gheller and Thomas Schulthess (Swiss Supercomputing Centre).
