Add-on workshops will be available as part of the 18th annual Energy HPC Conference. Each workshop will take place at Rice University's BRC on Thursday, February 27, 2025 - they will occur simultaneously, so only one workshop can be chosen per registration. 

​

 

4th Annual Devito User and Developer Workshop

10th Floor, Room 1003 | 8:15am - 4:00 pm; Reception at 5:00pm (organized by workshop speakers)

Limited Seating (50 registrants)

​​

Devito provides a powerful set of abstractions for finite-difference models in applications across the energy and medical industry, combining productivity, portability, and performance through symbolic computation and a flexible code-generation framework. DevitoPRO, an advanced extension of the open-source Devito platform, brings further features to cater specifically to high-performance computing (HPC) needs, especially in seismic imaging and inversion.

 

 

This workshop features presentations from industry and academia, highlighting experiences and applications of Devito/DevitoPRO in research and production. It includes an overview of ongoing research at Devito Codes and a panel with cloud service providers and hardware vendors discussing emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges in high-performance computing and seismic imaging applications. The workshop will maintain an inclusive atmosphere and will include ample time for discussion.

​

Materials: Laptop is not required. There will be power, but please charge in advance as some outlets may need to be shared.​​​​

Organizers:

• Paul Holzhauer (Devito Codes)

• Gerard Gorman (Devito Codes)

• Fabio Luporini (Devito Codes)
