From June 22-26, 2026, ISC High Performance 2026 took place in Hamburg, Germany. ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig presented its work at booth G12, featuring guest contributions from the Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH). Furthermore, our center contributed to the scientific conference program.

Exhibition

ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig showcased a variety of Living Lab demonstrators at the exhibition. This provided a deeper look into a selection of current research directions of our center to the visitors:

• asanAI: Machine Learning Made Easy
• JUmPER: Jupyter Meets Performance
• JumpLM: Benchmarking Language Model Inference

The team of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig consisted of Prof. Wolfgang E. Nagel, Dr. René Jäkel, Dr. Siavash Ghiasvand, Dr. Taras Lazariv, Lena Jurkschat, and Elias Werner. Bert Wesarg joined the booth with a guest contribution from ZIH, showcasing Vampir – a framework for performance analysis.
