Session

DescriptionThis mini-symposium will explore new directions in computing motivated by developments in the simulation of fundamental theories including Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) but focusing on the interdisciplinary aspects. With a mix of speakers from within and outside the lattice community, this mini-symposium will highlight how lattice QCD simulations will provide a unique test ground for a new generation of computational science methods – pushing hardware and software to extremes at the forefront of hybrid computing including on heterogeneous architectures at exascale, at the convergence of AI and HPC and incorporating quantum computing in a modular simulation environment. The mini-symposium will address some of the challenges that are currently under scrutiny in the Lattice Field Theory community, with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary and algorithmic aspects rather than the physics results. The urgent imperative to achieve efficient, sustainable computing at scale will feature in talks and discussion.
