HPC System Testing: Looking ahead to Post-Exascale Systems and HPC Ecosystems

Description

This BoF brings together experts from HPC centers around the globe to discuss future system testing methodologies. The session will include a panel focusing on HPC system testing at scale including acceptance testing of Perlmutter, Frontier, Fugaku, and LUMI. Panelists will describe challenges faced and share their perspectives on how those could have been overcome. Then, we will host two speakers to spark ideas for the open discussion in which attendees will be invited to identify key areas that HPC center staff and vendors should focus on to prepare for the next-generation of compute and data resources.

BOF attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences conducting acceptance and regression testing at their institutions and exchange best practices with other HPC centers.
