High Performance Computing Group, University of Basel

We are proud to share that our poster, “Seamless Scaling of Applications Across Programming Models”, has been accepted at the #SC25 ACM SRC Poster Session. We compare coding complexity and performance of C++, Python, Julia, and DaphneDSL for graph analytics. Julia outperforms C++, Python, and DaphneDSL, while DaphneDSL seamlessly scales on local and distributed parallelism settings, both exposing the trade-off between speed and developer productivity. Looking forward to connecting with the #HPC community and exchanging these and other ideas. 📍St. Louis, MO, USA 📅 November 16-21, 2025 Reto Krummenacher, Quentin Guilloteau, Jonas H.

DMI-HPC is ready for FANTASY Basel and showcase parallelism with μ-Cluster! 📍Find us at Booth number 307 in Hall 1.2, Messe Basel 📅 May 29-31, 2025 🤝 Meet our students, experience live demos, and dive into the world of #ComputerScience Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel #FantasyBasel #FantasyBasel2025 #ComicCon #MeetUsThere

🎉 We are delighted to announce that our paper on "An Autonomy Loop for Dynamic HPC Job Time Limit Adjustment" was accepted at the 31st International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par) 2025. Our work proposes a novel feedback-driven autonomy loop that dynamically adjusts HPC job time limits based on checkpoint progress reported by applications, achieving a 95% reduction of tail waste (the wasted computations that occur between the last checkpoint and the termination of a job). 📍 Our results will be presented at Euro-Par in Dresden this August. 📄 A preprint is available on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.05927 Departement Mathematik und Informatik | Universität Basel Florina M.

🚀 We’re excited to share that our paper "Scalable Genomic Context Analysis with GCsnap2 on HPC Clusters" has been accepted at PASC25: https://lnkd.in/ef4nuR-8! GCsnap2 Cluster is a scalable tool for genomic context analysis that uses mpi4py.futures to accelerate large-scale workflows — achieving a 22× speedup and enabling analysis of hundreds of thousands of sequences on HPC clusters. 📍 We’re looking forward to presenting our results in Brugg-Windisch this June. 📄 Check out the preprint on arXiv: https://lnkd.in/esXTXqyz 📦 Explore the open artifacts on Zenodo: https://lnkd.in/eVedPsQZ A big thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this work!
