KCSC Symposium on Scientific Computing
We are pleased to invite you to the 1st KCSC Symposium on Scientific Computing, November 3 - 4, 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden. Supercomputers keep getting faster, but science only moves as fast as the software that runs on them. So how do we build the methods and codes that make the most of the GPU-accelerated and increasingly heterogeneous machines of today and tomorrow?
Time: Tue 2026-11-03 12.00 - Wed 2026-11-04 13.00
Location: Osquars Backe 31, floor 2, Ångdomen (room 5209)
Language: English
The KCSC Symposium on Scientific Computing brings together domain scientists, research software engineers, and HPC experts to explore how new mathematical methods, well-engineered software, and exascale supercomputers can take research beyond today's limits. Talks will span molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, fluid dynamics, and AI for science. Invited speakers include researchers from RIKEN Center for Computational Science, home of Fugaku, and CSC in Finland, host of the LUMI supercomputer, with further speakers from Sweden and abroad to be announced. There will also be talks from the teams behind GROMACS, VeloxChem, and Neko, three widely used open-source codes developed in collaboration with KCSC.
Whether you write code, run simulations, or are simply curious about what HPC could do for your research, join us to meet people across disciplines, exchange ideas, and start new collaborations.
We will also host a symposium dinner set in a very special venue, the KTH Reactor Hall, originally the site of Sweden’s first nuclear reactor, the now decommissioned R1 research reactor. The reactor hall is located 25 metres below ground level in the bedrock beneath the KTH Campus, and getting the rare opportunity to dine there is a unique experience not to be missed out on.
Date: November 3-4, lunch-to-lunch
Location: Osquars Backe 31, floor 2, Ångdomen (room 5209)
