Teratec Digital Forum 2020
Plenary session
Tuesday, October 13, 2020 from 9h30 to 12h00

HPC, AI and Quantum computing remain as central matters for industrialists and Europe

The Forum Teratec being organized remotely this year using video conferencing was a real opportunity for speakers to show how HPC and digital simulation often coupled with Artificial Intelligence applications can be used to fight the pandemic, by anticipating its progression and accelerating the development of new drugs. Many other examples were equally presented from the Defense or Energy sectors. Finally, this year’s event was also an opportunity for European Commissioner Thierry Breton to reassert Europe’s determination to come back as a world leader in HPC equipped with some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world and able to develop in Europe all technologies required, whether in terms of processors, software, exascale architectures or quantum machines.

Roundtable: In the era of COVID-19, how digital can serve health

On Tuesday, October 13 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., a Round Table moderated by Julien Bergounhoux, editor-in-chief of L'Usine Digitale, was devoted to digital technologies (HPC/HPDA) in the field of health with an important focus on COVID -19.

Xavier Vigouroux (HPC, AI & Quantum Strategic Collaborations Coordinator, Atos), James Coomer (Senior VP product, DDN), Thierry Pellegrino (VP & General Manager of HPC, Dell Technologies), Pierre Hoffer (Directeur HPC & IA, Hewlett Packard Enterprise), Michael Mcmanus (Director, Precision Medicine & Principal Engineer, Intel), Jacques-Charles Lafoucriere (Chef de projet informatique, CEA) et Pierre Puigdomenech (President, Do IT Now) debated the technological and societal challenges of these new uses in this particularly critical field of applications.
