Seventh Workshop on Interactive and Urgent High-Performance Computing (WIUHPC)

Interactivity enables the exploitation of HPC in new and revolutionary ways, delivering many new and exciting opportunities for our community. Interactive HPC involves users being in the loop during job execution where a human is monitoring a job, steering the experiment, or visualising results to make immediate decisions about the results to influence the current or subsequent interactive jobs. Likewise, urgent computing combines interactive computational modelling with the near real time detection of unfolding events to take real-time actions. Supporting interactive and urgent workloads on HPC requires expertise in a wide range of areas and the solving of numerous technical and organisational challenges, including organisational and system policies; effective scheduling; effective technologies and tools; data management; and user education and training.

This workshop brings together stakeholders, researchers and practitioners from across interactive and urgent computing with the wider HPC community. We will share success stories, case studies and technologies to continue community building around leveraging interactive HPC as an important tool responding to disasters, societal issues, rapid prototyping, and data analysis.
