Workshop Overview

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.

Goals

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.
