Dear friends and colleagues,

The year 2015 has given us the opportunity to reflect on major current technological developments and their impact on our economy and lifestyle. It is clear that these developments are radically transforming the industrial landscape, both in terms of the way we develop and market our products or services, and in terms of our working practices, regardless of industry, research, education or health care sector. This is the main challenge that we are currently faced with.

The 2015 TERATEC Forum, which coincided with our company's 10th anniversary, provided a timely opportunity to consider the progress made so far and the ongoing development of our activities. Many key players, both in France and throughout Europe, are asking us to play a more active role in major initiatives and implementation strategies, and that is exactly what we intend to do.

In France, the public authorities have asked us to coordinate the Industrial Supercomputing Plan, currently headed by Gérard Roucairol and now part of the Data Saving Plan. This provides an optimal framework for the development of technological control strategies (Exascale programme, new computing architectures) and the implementation of sector-specific initiatives (material science, agriculture, multimedia, etc.). Also within this framework, TERATEC was recently tasked with a major project to promote the use of simulation tools in SMEs and industrial corporations, scheduled for implementation over a period of several years, with investment of significant resources, regular progress reporting, and significant potential for creation of new opportunities.

In Europe, we are strengthening our collaboration with ETP4HPC (European Technology Platform for High-Performance Computing) and we are actively involved in various European projects, e.g. COLOC (computing architecture development), EXDCI (exascale computing preparation) and POP (application performance optimization). Our sphere of action and employee base is rapidly expanding.

With the current year coming to an end, I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy New Year, full of personal and professional success.  

Hervé MOUREN
Directeur de TERATEC

Participate as a Sponsor or Exhibitor at the TERATEC 2016 Forum

The 11th edition of the TERATEC Forum will be held on June 28 and 29, 2016 at Ecole Polytechnique with the expected participation of over 1300 professionals, decision-makers and experts in HPC, Big Data and Digital Simulation, representing a broad spectrum of industrial, scientific and research community perspectives on the major technological and economic issues at stake.

The participation and testimonials of major industrial firms, the detailed presentations given by leading tech companies in the field, the diversity and high technical level of the workshops organized, the high degree of representativity of the exhibitors and the innovative nature of the proposals presented should all serve to illustrate technological and industrial dynamics at work in the field of digital simulation and the major role played by France in this field.

The TERATEC Forum is the leading European event for all those interested in high-performance computing and simulation.

On Tuesday, June 28, the Plenary Sessions will focus on the technological challenges of high-performance digital simulation and the multiple potential applications of high-performance computing.

On Wednesday, June 29, technical workshops will be held to review emerging technologies and new uses for HPC and Big Data applications.

On June 28 and 29, an exhibit of about eighty booths will be set up, representing all key players in HPC. Hardware/software manufacturers, publishers, distributors, integrators, service providers, universities, research laboratories, competitiveness clusters and public organizations will present their latest innovations in high-performance digital simulation.

To submit a paper for the workshops at the TERATEC 2016 Forum ?

YWould you like to submit a testimonial, share your experience in digital simulation and Big Data applications, present your solutions, or invite your customers to provide valuable feedback?

• Presentations should be related to applications, in relevant areas (such as material simulation, biology, biomedicine, medicine and health care, multimedia, digital graphics and animation, industrial plant simulation and digital control, etc.) and should either present real-life applications in industrial/commercial companies, propose methodologies for introducing new technologies in companies, showcase new business-focused approaches, or illustrate the integration of new tools and techniques so as to benefit from the latest technological developments.
  

• Presentations focused on technology or research should allow attendees to assess potential benefits, limitations and technological advances, with possible topics including (but not limited to): new computing architectures, Big Data applications and analysis, HPC and virtualization, storage technologies, HPC and Internet of Things (IoT), new generation software and new algorithms..

Priority will be given to papers and proposals submitted by TERATEC members and 2015 TERATEC Forum exhibitors, including user testimonials, practical use cases and operational feedback.

The Teratec Campus, at the heart of digital innovation

The Teratec Campus offers premium private spaces, equipped with wiring and telephony, which come with a selection of à la carte services as desired: furniture, parking, reception and assistance, access to conference rooms, and shared office resources. In addition to the material aspects, choosing to work out of the incubator or start-up center on the Teratec Campus guarantees a high level of flexibility:

• Private spaces, even small ones, can be upgraded at any time... we offer premises ranging from 15 to 170 sqm
  
• Lease terms are only 24 months, with the option for early termination.
  

If you're seeking a strategic location for your core business and business meeting, think of the Teratec Campus incubator and start-up center, and join the many companies already present here: AS+ GROUPE EOLEN - ATEM - AVANTIS TECHNOLOGY - BULL/ATOS - CEA - CMI DEFENCE - CYBELETECH - DISTENE - ESI GROUP - INTEL - MANTENNA EXPERTISE - NUMTECH - NVIDIA - PARATOOLS - SCILAB ENTERPRISES - SILKAN - WIZZ YOO - ...Read more >>>>
