MMCP 2024: Advancing Mathematical Modeling, Quantum Computing, and HPC Innovations in Yerevan
The Mathematical Modelling and Computational Physics, 2024 (MMCP 2024) conference was hosted in the vibrant city of Yerevan from October 20 to 25, where the Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems (IIAP) of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia was not only a co-organizer but also contributed valuable input through its active participation. This event focused on mathematical tools for complex physical systems, mathematical methods in life sciences, modern methods for data processing and analysis in Mega-science projects, machine learning and big data analytics, and quantum computing. IIAP members joined experts from around the world, fostering collaboration and advancing research in these critical areas. The conference also commemorated the 80th anniversary of renowned scientist Academician Alexei Sissakian. At the MMCP 2024 conference, Dr. Hrachya Astsatryan, in his opening remarks on October 21, emphasized the importance of collaboration in scientific research, setting a tone of camaraderie and shared purpose among the participants. Mr. Artashes Mirzoyan gave a plenary talk to present the groundbreaking of the National Supercomputing Center of Armenia, showcasing the capabilities of the Aznavour supercomputer. This powerful facility plays a crucial role in fostering scientific inquiry by providing researchers with access to high-performance computing resources necessary for complex simulations and data-intensive projects. In her plenary talk, Dr. Yeghisabet Alaverdyan presented an exciting new method for anonymous computation scheme for robust authentication in self-organizing UAV swarms. The work focuses on ability of multiple UAVs to autonomously collaborate without central control, relying solely on local interactions. Dr. Shushanik Sargsyan examined the impact of supercomputing centers on research output, utilizing bibliometric data to analyze the correlation between supercomputing resources and academic productivity. Her findings revealed a strong link between access to supercomputing facilities and an increase in the volume of scientific publications, underscoring the essential role these centers play in enhancing research capabilities across regions. Dr. Ashot Gevorkyan delved into the intricacies of single-particle quantum thermodynamics, presenting a model that explores the self-organization of particles within complex environments. His research focuses on understanding atomic processes such as scattering and capture in non-equilibrium conditions, providing valuable insights into the broader field of quantum thermodynamics. Finally, Ph.D. student Mr. Davit Petrosyan discussed the innovative transition from the traditional Slurm scheduler to Kubernetes for managing high-performance computing workloads. By leveraging the Shoc (Serverless HPC Over Cloud) platform, his research highlights improved resource utilization and scalability in cloud-native environments, paving the way for future advancements in HPC management. Together, these presentations at MMCP 2024 illustrated the diverse and dynamic landscape of research emanating from IIAP, reflecting Armenia's commitment to being at the forefront of scientific innovation and technological advancement. |
