This week, I am for the third time taking part in the “International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis” to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) and all of its activities at the booth of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) (#3147).
Last Thursday, 3 October 2024, I took part in the Open Day at Garching.
With over 80 venues and activities to visit and take part in, and thousands of people attending, it was quite an event.
I myself took part in the stand activities of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), moderated talks and discussions at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and set up another ‘Build Your Own Particle Detector’ (BYOPD) competition as part of the activities of the ORIGINS Cluster of Excellence. Both the MQV stand and the BYOPD activity were well attended and we had quite a number of participants in the BYOPD competition … entries and results soon(ish) to come.
The official website for the Open Day, which I expanded and recoded over the past few weeks, also seems to have done a good job for the 6500 or so unique visitors on that day alone.
Last week I was at the 2024 IEEE Quantum Week in Montreal, Canada, to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) with a special focus on its quantum-software activities and the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS).
A little roadtrip and photo diary from our trip to Portugal in August 2024.
Some more details and captions might follow at some point .. otherwise just ask me ;)
Partly in my spare time and partly in my working time, I designed and coded the website for this year’s Open Day in Garching.
I had already built the site for last year’s event, but due to the much larger number of participating institutes, chairs and companies, this time I added a system to filter all the activities on campus based on language, target audience, formats and tags.
The site uses WordPress along with some modifications to both the theme and the code.
As part of our support for the event, the MQV team has been collecting and filling in all the information and content for all the activities. The design elements for the Open Day were provided by mattweis and I adopted them up for the website design.
There is still a lot of content to be added, but you can already get an idea of what to expect from the Open Day, which will take place on 3 October 2024 from 10am to 5pm.
MQV will be present with a booth and presentations at the LRZ: Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. Feel free to pass by to learn about MQV and the website ;)
In addition Build Your Own Particle Detector will be present, along with the Belle II and ATLAS Experiment, at the booth of the cluster of excellence ORIGINS.
