In this talk, Lubomir Riha from the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre in the Czech Republic will present an overview of the HPC center, its activities, and one of the research laboratories (Infrastructure Research Lab), including its research infrastructure.
Then, he will present research related to the GPU-accelerated rendering of massive scenes on multi-GPU systems with CUDA Unified memory. The final topic of the talk will focus on the cinematic-style visualization of large CFD simulations and how it can be done in a scalable way using open-source community tools together with tools developed at the IT4Innovations
Lubomír Říha is head of the Infrastructure Research Lab at IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre (IT4I). Previously he was a senior researcher in the Parallel Algorithms Research Lab at IT4I and a research scientist in High Performance Computing Lab at The George Washington University, ECE Department. He has received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic in 2011 and D.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Bowie State University, USA. He was investigator of FP7 EXA2CT project and Intel Parallel Computing Center and principal investigator of the H2020 READEX project at IT4I. He is also a co-principal developer of the ESPRESO library. His research interests are high performance computing, energy efficient computing, acceleration of scientific and engineering applications using multi- and many-core accelerators, development of scalable linear solvers, signal and image processing.
