Poster titled “Introduction to the DLB Library and Measuring GPU performance” at the top in bold black font. To the right of the title are two logos: one for dynamic load balancing (with a blue icon resembling test tubes) and one for CEEC (black bold letters). Below the title is a white speech-bubble shaped text box with the following text: Join CEEC and Marta Garcia for a webinar introducing the Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) library and its modules! We’ll share each module’s main features and how to use them, with extra focus on the new TALP GPU metric collection feature. Below this paragraph are three icons with corresponding event details: • A calendar icon next to: September 17, 2025 • A clock icon next to: 15:00 – 16:00 CET • A location pin icon next to: Online To the right of the main text is a rectangular photo of Marta Garcia speaking on stage with a microphone, in front of a presentation slide. She wears a striped shirt, and the background slide includes anatomical heart graphics and headshots. Below the main text box is a slightly tilted image of a diagram. It shows a white 3D figure typing on a laptop labeled "Program App.", pointing to a blue arrow labeled "Run with DLB", followed by charts and cloud-like graphics suggesting performance improvement. The DLB logo appears again in this diagram. The bottom of the poster features stylized wave lines in blue and gray.

📢 Back by popular demand! Join CEEC on Sept 17 for an Introduction to the DLB library—now with GPU metric support via TALP.

Group photo of CEEC project members at the all-hands meeting hosted at HLRS in Stuttgart. Around 20 people are standing and kneeling in two rows in front of a projection screen that reads “Thank you for your attention!” The group includes researchers and engineers from the consortium, with one person holding their guide dog in the front row.

We were delighted to host the CEEC all-hands at @hlrs-hpc.bsky.social!
Two days of planning, discussion & collaboration on scaling CFD to exascale—across solvers, ML, performance, quantum, and more. Great progress & team spirit all around! 📸 See the full team below. #HPC #CFD #ExascaleComputing

A person with short hair stands in front of large windows, silhouetted against the light, with a backpack on their back. The view outside includes a cityscape. Two digital displays are visible. The left display, titled "POP," features a flowchart or diagram with text and icons. The right display, titled "CEEC," contains text and graphs, resembling an informational poster. Outside, a road with a bus and distant buildings is visible under a partly cloudy sky.

#HPC

Two individuals wearing 3D glasses stand in an immersive virtual reality environment filled with a 3D projection of orange spheres and blue arrows, creating a tunnel-like effect. They are interacting with the visualization using handheld devices. A menu with options such as "move," "scale world," and "navigation" is visible on the right side, indicating a control interface for the virtual environment. The scene is vibrant and dynamic, focusing on data visualization.

Turn your data into immersive 3D visualizations!

A group of five women stands in a hallway at the HiPEAC25 conference, posing for a photo. They all wear conference badges on blue lanyards. Behind them is a large sign with "HiPEAC Conference" and "Room 9" visible. The hallway has a polished floor and fluorescent lighting, with a door labeled "Sala 10" on the left. The women are dressed in casual conference attire. From left to right: the first woman has short brown hair, a light turtleneck sweater, and black pants; the second woman has long straight hair, glasses, a cream sweater, and blue jeans; the third woman has curly hair, a blue and white sweater, and white pants; the fourth woman has short hair, glasses, a dark jacket, and blue jeans; the fifth woman has long dark hair tied back, a black coat, and green pants. All are smiling.
