Introduction to AI + HPC

Synopsis:

The emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) community in Supercomputing (SC) infrastructure is critical to achieving faster, higher impact, and scalable advancements. In this workshop, we are going to explore the synergy between AI and SC. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of using specialized hardware, mainly in the area of Deep Learning. In addition, we will review the state of the art of the leading AI applications that are only possible in SC infrastructures. Finally, we will cover some tools to accelerate and parallelize code in Python.
