High Schoolers from Michigan Step Up to High Performance Computing at Stanford
April 22, 2020 by
In this video from the Stanford HPC Conference, Surya Sanjay and Tanay Bhangale from Troy High School in Michigan describe how their proposal on combatting prion-based disease resulted in their first experiences with HPC at the Stanford High Performance Computing Center. “Using a model of the infectious murine prion and many mutagenized variants of the benign murine prion as PrPX, created with Rosetta’s ab initio software, we plan to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with GROMACS 2020 to determine the success of models based on the described criteria.”
Update on the HPC AI Advisory Council
April 20, 2020 by
Setting the stage for the Stanford HPC Conference this week, Gilad Shainer describes how the HPC AI Advisory Council fosters innovation in the high performance computing community. “The HPC-AI Advisory Council’s mission is to bridge the gap between high-performance computing and Artificial Intelligence use and its potential, bring the beneficial capabilities of HPC and AI to new users for better research, education, innovation and product manufacturing, bring users the expertise needed to operate HPC and AI systems, provide application designers with the tools needed to enable parallel computing, and to strengthen the qualification and integration of HPC and AI system products.”
APAC HPC-AI Competition Expands to Address COVID-19
April 8, 2020 by
The HPC-AI Advisory Council and the National Supercomputing Centre in Singapore announced today that they have joined the global fight against COVID-19 by expanding the 2020 APAC HPC-AI competition to address education and applied learning towards accelerating bioscience research and discovery. “As part of the updated competition, student teams are now tasked to research, find and choose an HPC or AI application that can potentially be used as part of the global fight against COVID-19. Teams must demonstrate testing and benchmarking of the application, as well as explain how this application can best be accelerated. In addition, teams will also be required to focus on tuning and accelerating NAMD, a molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems.”
Registration Opens for Stanford HPC Conference Virtual Event
March 30, 2020 by
Registration is now open for the Stanford HPC Conference. The two day ‘condensed’ agenda combines thought leadership and practical insights on HPC, AI, Data Science and much more. The virtual event takes place April 21-22. “The Stanford High Performance Computing Center in collaboration with the HPC-AI Advisory Council invite you to join the annual Stanford Conference as an entirely virtual experience.”
Student Teams Encouraged to Join the 3rd APAC HPC-AI Competition
March 25, 2020 by
Student teams are encouraged to apply for the 2020 APAC HPC-AI Competition. Continuing the success of the previous competitions, student teams will square off against international teams to produce solutions and applications in the High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence domains. “We hope that the HPC-AI training established among our young aspiring programmers can help us tackle global threats such as COVID-19 and accelerate an improved response to future pandemics.”
Convergence for Scientific Method: HPC, AI, Simulation and Experiment
October 28, 2019 by
Alan Real from Durham University gave this talk at the UK HPC Conference. “This talk will discuss how advances in instrumentation have caused many new areas to embrace HPC and AI in order to successfully conduct and understand their experiments.”
Designing Scalable HPC, Deep Learning, Big Data, and Cloud Middleware for Exascale Systems
October 18, 2019 by
DK Panda from Ohio State University gave this talk at the UK HPC Conference. “This talk will focus on challenges in designing HPC, Deep Learning, Big Data and HPC Cloud middleware for Exascale systems with millions of processors and accelerators. For the HPC domain, we will discuss about the challenges in designing runtime environments for MPI+X (PGAS – OpenSHMEM/UPC/CAF/UPC++, OpenMP, and CUDA) programming models by taking into account support for multi-core systems (Xeon, ARM and OpenPower), high-performance networks, and GPGPUs (including GPUDirect RDMA).”
The Eco-System of AI and How to Use It
October 11, 2019 by
Glyn Bowden from HPE gave this talk at the UK HPC Conference. “This presentation walks through HPE’s current view on AI applications, where it is driving outcomes and innovation, and where the challenges lay. We look at the eco-system that sits around an AI project and look at ways this can impact the success of the endeavor.”
