Supercomputing Frontiers Europe will take place from 11 to 15 July. The conference is organised by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), University of Warsaw. The event aims to enable the widest participation of HPC enthusiasts from all around the world, to learn, share and advance. Save the dates!
Supercomputer Frontiers Europe 2022 will be the eighth edition of the annual conference which was held in Singapore in 2015-2017 and subsequently in 2018-2021 in Warsaw, Poland. The tentative topics for SCFE22 will be:
- Supercomputing applications in domains of critical impact in economic and human terms, and especially those requiring
computing resources approaching Exascale; - Computing at the Edge with an emphasis on high bandwidth networking, distributed workflows, and streaming data;
- Convergence of HPC, AI, Big Data, Semantic and Graph methods ;
- Hybrid HPC – Quantum Computing;
- HPC cloud and containerisation;
- Workflows for scientific computations and big data
- New processor architectures, optical interconnects, associative memories, interconnect topologies and routing, and
interplay of interconnect topologies with algorithmic communication patterns; - Connectomics, Genomics, – omics of all kinds and Systems Biology;
- Brain simulations, Neuromorphic computing, Connectome;
- Knowledge Graphs, graph computations, topology, space filling curves;
Any other topic that pushes the boundaries of computational science and supercomputing to exascale and beyond. and more…
The SCFE 2022 paper submission is now open. Submission closing date is April 30, 2022.

From Singapore to Warsaw- the history of SUPERCOMPUTING FRONTIERS
The first three editions of ‘Supercomputing Frontiers’ conferences were organized in Singapore by A*STAR Computational Resource Centre and National Supercomputing Centre Singapore, initiated by dr. Marek Michalewicz, former Chief Executive Officer at A*STAR Computational Resource Centre. The fourth and succeeding editions were moved to Poland, renamed to ‘Supercomputing Frontiers Europe’ and organized by Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computer Modeling (ICM), University of Warsaw.
The word frontiers in the conference’s name is to be interpreted in a very broad sense, where the frontiers don’t matter when one talks about science.
The previous conferences showcased a successful scientific program with outstanding speakers including world-renowned keynote speakers:
- Roberto Car (Princeton University) | 2021
- Irene Qualters (US Department of Energy) | 2021
- Hiroaki Kinatno (the Systems Biology Institute) | 2021

ABOUT ICM UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW
Established by a resolution of the Senate of the University of Warsaw dated 29 June 1993, the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), University of Warsaw, is one of the top HPC centers in Poland.
ICM is engaged in serving the needs of a large community of computational researchers in Poland through provision of HPC and grid resources, storage, networking and expertise. ICM is involved in interdisciplinary scientific research based on mathematical modeling, computer simulations and modeling, multi-scale and large-scale calculations, and teaching in the above areas.
ICM researchers study problems related to civil aviation (collaboration with ICAO), modeling of social processes and most currently researching zoonoses diseases like SARS-CoV-2 and working on ICM Epidemiological Model for the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland – all based on exclusive access to specific Big Data resources. ICM is involved in securing access for Polish scientists to the entire body of scientific literature, including over 8,000 journal titles and hundreds of thousands scientific books, by maintaining the Virtual Library of Science, including the entire content and the rights to text mining.
Since 1997, numerical weather prediction is the one of main activities of ICM. The numerical weather forecast for Central Europe has over 200 million visitors every year, making it one of the most popular weather services in Poland.
ICM’s Laboratory of Visual Analysis has been successfully developing and using in-house visualisation software (VisNow) for over 20 years. Their expertise covers scientific visualisation, visual analysis, computer assisted medical diagnosis and other competence areas.
ICM manages two data centers in Warsaw. The ICM Technology Center (CTICM) in Białołęka commissioned in 2016 has approx. 10,000 m2 of technical space with two world-class supercomputers: Petaflop Cray XC-40 (Okeanos) for traditional intensive numerical calculations, and the Huawei cluster (Enigma) for large data analytics (Hadoop, Spark) and cloud computing. The CT-ICM server room also has data storage equipment for more than 20 PetaBytes of data in a variety of file systems: high performance Lustre to object storage. The newly refurbished lecture hall for an audience of 70 participants has unique visualization equipment with 16 monitors and software that allows for displaying of huge datasets, remote collaboration and transmission of lectures or images from around the world.
In the domain of Big Data, High Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud services, ICM supports approximately 1,000 users from all over Poland using our supercomputers and computing, network and storage infrastructure. ICM currently employs 110 staff.
ICM networking team has participated in a number of cutting edge networking solutions, both for high throughput and low latency requirements. Recently, ICM engineers have established a production 100Gbps connection over 12,375 4 miles CAE-1 (Collaboration Asia Europe-1) line between Warsaw and Singapore.
