ABOUT ROSA M. BADIA
Rosa M. Badia holds a PhD in Computer Science (1994) from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). She has recently been appointed director of the HPC software research area and she is the manager of the Workflows and Distributed Computing research group, both roles at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC, Spain).
Her research has contributed to parallel programming models for multicore and distributed computing. Recent contributions have focused in the area of the digital continuum, proposing new programming environemnts and software environment for edge-to-cloud, as well as for the support of hybrid quantum-classic workflows. The research is integrated in PyCOMPSs/COMPSs, a parallel task-based programming distributed computing framework, and its application to developing large heterogeneous workflows that combine HPC, Big Data, and Machine Learning. The group is also doing research around the dislib, a parallel machine learning library parallelized with PyCOMPSs. Dr Badia has published more than 200 papers on her research topics in international conferences and journals. She has been very active in projects funded by the European Commission and in contracts with industry. In particular, she was the PI of the EuroHPC JU project eFlows4HPC. She is the chair of the ACM Europe Council since beginning of 2022, a member of the EuroHPC JU RIAG and a member of HiPEAC Network of Excellence.
She received the Euro-Par Achievement Award 2019 for her contributions to parallel processing, the DonaTIC award, category Academia/Researcher in 2019 and the HPDC Achievement Award 2021 for her innovations in parallel task-based programming models, workflow applications and systems, and leadership in the high performance computing research community. Since 2023 she is a member of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (Catalan academy).
ABOUT RIO YOKOTA
Rio Yokota is a Professor at the Supercomputing Research Center, Institute of Integrated Research, Institute of Science Tokyo. He also leads the AI for Science Foundation Model Research Team at RIKEN Center for Computational Science. His research interests lie at the intersection of high performance computing, machine learning, and linear algebra. He has been optimizing algorithms on GPUs since 2007, and was part of a team that received the Gordon Bell prize in 2009 using the first GPU supercomputer. More recently, he has been leading distributed training efforts on Japanese supercomputers such as ABCI, TSUBAME, and Fugaku. He is the co-developer of the Japanese LLM Swallow, and LLM-jp. He is also involved in the organization of multinational collaborations such as ADAC and TPC.
