The phrase “Big data” means different things to different people. Some believe that the big data is hype and will fade away with time, but the same was said about cloud computing four years ago. ISC Events, with its 28 years of experience in organizing scientific computing conferences realized early on that high performance computing (HPC), big data and cloud are converging, prompting far-reaching implications that are changing the worlds of science, engineering and manufacturing.
The fourth ISC’13 Cloud Conference will take place in the Marriott Hotel, Heidelberg, Germany from September 23 – 24, 2013, and the inaugural ISC’13 Big Data Conference will be held at the same venue immediately afterward, from September 25 – 26. As the cloud computing model is proving to be the useful match for big data, i.e. providing virtually unlimited resources on demand, many topics and presentations in both conference programs will reflect on that connection…
In his opening keynote titled “HPC and Supercomputing – On our Way towards a New Utility”, Jason Stowe, the CEO of Cycle Computing, will be talking about what will happen when scientists and researchers are no longer limited by fixed-size compute and data capacity. His presentation will explore how organizations are running large-scale HPC workloads, using high performance and high throughput utility computing. Several real-world examples will be offered, including Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Pacific Life Insurance, Schrödinger, and others. Based upon these case studies, Stowe will discuss trends that could forever change how computational science is performed…
