About the Workshop

Recent advances in AI have influenced nearly all domains of science and engineering research. The spectrum is surprisingly broad: starting from traditional scientific simulation, natural language processing, material science, medical diagnostics, drug discovery and last but not the least, computer software and systems. In its second iteration, our focus remains largely in the same direction, that is, to explore the new-found synergies between High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), emphasizing the advancements, challenges and future directions in two domains that have long shared symbiotic relationship - scientific computing and computer systems. Participants will engage in discussions about state-of-the art technologies, share experiences and foster collaborations to drive innovation in these interdisciplinary fields.

The goals of this workshop is to:

  • Provide a platform to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners in the areas of HPC, Software & Systems evaluating the use of AI/ML to foster dialogue and solve problems in these domains.
  • Highlight cutting-edge research and practical applications that leverage the intersection of HPC, Systems and AI.
  • To provide a platform for sharing knowledge about new tools, techniques, and best practices.
  • Discuss the challenges in integrating HPC with AI and propose potential solutions.
  • To identify future research directions and encourage collaborative efforts to advance the field.

Previous Edition

The first edition of AI-SPC workshop was successfully held at HiPC 2024. You can access the proceedings and papers from the inaugural workshop at the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Call for Papers

What to Submit

The workshop invites submissions (though not limited to) in the following areas:

  • State of the Art in HPC & AI Integration: Overview of current technologies and methodologies where HPC meets AI. Case studies demonstrating successful integration in scientific research and industry.
  • HPC for AI: Accelerating Learning and Inference: Utilizing HPC to accelerate AI training and inference times. Benchmarking performance gains in AI applications through HPC.
  • Large scale I/O and Analytics: Challenges in handling big data with HPC and AI. Techniques for efficient data storage, retrieval, and processing at scale.
  • HPC-AI for Scientific Discovery: Applications of AI for simulation and modeling in scientific domains such as computational fluid dynamics, climate modeling, astrophysics, and bioinformatics. Leveraging HPC for the larger areas of Scientific Machine Learning (neural network-driven scientific research). Few such focus areas are: Physics Informed Neural Network (PINN), AI assisted Data Driven Weather Modelling.
  • Future Directions and Emerging Technologies, Hardware and Software Design Machine learning in compiler optimization, auto tuning, software & hardware performance optimization. Discussion on the upcoming trends at the nexus of HPC and AI. Anticipating future challenges and opportunities in hardware and software developments.
