Boston are pleased to be participating in SC once again, in “normal” times our physical booth has a constant stream of visitors all wanting to speak to our experts at Boston Labs – we haven’t let the fact we’re participating digitally stop us – attendees can still utilise the Boston Labs team and have their burning HPC questions answered via our virtual booth – We’ve also got a number of live events taking place around HPC via our HPC roadshow in collaboration with leading vendors; Supermicro, Intel, Panasas, AMD, WEKA, Prime Computer and more -you can also enter our competition for free! Find us in the Exhibits section under Boston Limited or follow this URL.

Scientists and engineers across the country use NASA supercomputers to: research various aspects of the COVID-19 virus and connections between the virus and the environment; help design quieter, more fuel-efficient aircraft and advanced air mobility vehicles to safely transport people and goods in urban and underserved areas; support critical design decisions for safely launching the Orion spacecraft, which will carry astronauts to deep space and back to Earth; better understand how the Sun affects technologies on Earth; unlock the mysteries of the universe—and more. Come visit our virtual booth to learn about the latest research results supporting NASA missions for the benefit of humankind.

The vendor-neutral OpenMP standard has been helping scientists and engineers to parallelize their code to get faster results since 1997, but continues to evolve. SC'20 sees version 5.1 of the OpenMP API, three tutorials, a BOF, and many short, free, 'Booth Talk' videos from researchers and users. Version 5 .1 provides more information to the compiler to allow improved optimization, adds improvements in the use of OpenMP from modern C++, adds improvements in device interactions, adds an easier declaration of environment specific functions, and allows the user to generate compile-time errors and warnings. It fully supports C11, C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20, as well as Fortran 2008 with partial support for Fortran 2018. Enhancements to support for offload to accelerator (GPU) devices make OpenMP the optimal choice for performant, portable, code that can exploit current and future machines.  More information at link.openmp.org/sc20
