Rio Yokota of Institute of Science Tokyo (new name for Titech) giving an update on #LLM work using #supercomputers in Japan at #MW25NZ mixed with an excellent overall discussion of wider international #AI evolution and advances
#HPC
The problem with Seymour Cray’s infamous quote “would you rather have two oxen or 1000 chickens to plough a field” is that he failed to take into account that the 1000 would grow to a million chickens.
#HPC #supercomputer #Cray #MW25NZ
Fascinating talk by Jeffrey Vetter of ORNL on the potential of using #AI to port #HPC codes to new platforms or to generate HPC code. Some surprisingly good results (eg competitive to vendor tuned BLAS libs) but still plenty of work to go yet.
#MW25NZ
Good talk by Sunita Chandrasekaran (@sunitachandra.bsky.social) on optimising science capability with #AI using the example of improving simulations of instabilities in plasma by introducing #ML into the workflow with benefits including helping reduce data volumes
#MW25NZ #HPC
#AI is driving computer architecture development
Adapt or die might be the only option for the #HPC community
• GPUs, lower precision, tensor cores, smaller memories etc

Simon McIntosh-Smith (@simonmcs.bsky.social) of Bristol talking at #MW25NZ about computer architectures and building #AI #supercomputers quickly
#HPC
Amal Gueroudji from Argonne presenting on the convergence of #HPC and #ML workflows for scientific computing
#MW25NZ #AI
Really good explainer on state and future of Digital Twins and especially graph representations for #digitaltwins by Karen Wilcox, Director of Oden Institute

My talk yesterday addressed Hyperion's question when/if a #hyperscaler will take #1 spot on #Top500 - likely with an #ai #supercomputer ...
I did answer the question but the audience aren't allowed to share my answer!
You have to be at #MW25NZ to hear such things :-)
#HPC
Olga Pearce from LLNL giving a talk on #benchmarking for #HPC at #MW25NZ
Proposing a specification for running HPC benchmarks - benchpark - to help automation, reuse, reproducibility, tracking, etc.
Kate Keahey from Argonne talking about Edge Infrastructures for #AI research - building scientific instruments using combinations of edge and #cloud
#MW25NZ
First up after lunch is Kevin A Brown of Argonne talking about actionable modsim for #HPC infrastructure
#MW25NZ
