Hello there. This is Li Jiahao.

22nd International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT) was held from Dec. 17th to 19th. PDCAT is a major forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present the latest research, results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of parallel and distributed computing.

I made a presentation about the performance of neoSYCL.

Hi, this is M2 student Jin Yifan.

The 5th International Conference on High-Performance Computing in Asia-Pacific Region (HPC Asia 2022) was held from January 12th to 14th.

HPC Asia is an international conference series in the Asia Pacific region on HPC technologies, fostering the exchange of ideas, research results, and case studies related to all issues of high-performance computing. The 5th edition, HPC Asia 2022 was held with the motto “Stepping forward to the Post Moore Era together.”

You can find the program here.

In our laboratory, Jin had a poster presentation at poster session #122: Memory-aware Task Mapping for Heterogeneous Multi-Core Systems.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference was held in a “fully online” format. The organizers created a Gather space for the poster session. In this special era, it is also interesting to participate in the conference in this form.

Hi, my name is Mike Zielewski. I am a doctoral student in Takizawa laboratory and my studies focus on quantum computing.

Last month I was fortunate enough to be able to present my work at the International Conference on High Performance Computing in Asia-Pacific Region (HPC Asia 2022).

One thing that I thought was challenging when preparing my presentation was that much of my audience would be unfamiliar with not only the background of my work but also quantum annealing in general. This is because quantum annealing has yet to be widely adopted for practical applications. With this in mind, I realized that I would have to take special care in making the presentation accessible to people of various backgrounds.

I hope that some of the attendees found my presentation interesting enough that they will think about using quantum annealing for their own applications.

Currently, some of the most effective ways of using quantum annealing actually combine it with traditional HPC practices. I’m looking forward to seeing more mature HPC technologies be integrated with quantum annealing to produce results that neither could achieve alone.

Hello there. This is Minglu.

12th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Programming (PAAP’21) was held from Dec. 10th to 12th.
PAAP is an international conference for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to present their research results and development activities in all aspects of parallel architectures, algorithms and programming techniques.
You can find the details here. Program

In our lab., Minglu had a presentation at the track05: Big Data Processing and Deep Learning.

The International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC21) was held from Nov. 14th to 19th this year.

Similar to last year, Tohoku University had a booth page including posters and videos about our research.

The detailed booth information is shown here.

Although there is no presentation made by lab members this year, students in our lab still actively attended the conference and shared interesting topics or presentations in the lab seminar.

Hope that in the future, there will be opportunities for our lab members to present research at such top-level conferences.

I am Shuhei Sugawara, a first year Takizawa trainee.
In light of the recent situation, we have created a system to record the arrival and departure status of students in the laboratory, and have recently started operation.
Previously, we had to write down the entry and exit times of each person on a spreadsheet, but now we can use the touch keys in the lab to automatically fill in the information, which I think is much easier and less time-consuming.
It was more difficult than I expected due to various problems and improvements before the system was up and running, but it is now working successfully thanks to the cooperation of the lab members. Thank you very much!
For now, only lab members can use it, but we are planning to improve it so that guests can also use it, so please try it out when you visit our lab!
