Towards Big Data Analytics and the Convergence of AI and High Performance Computing
Established in 1985 as one of the original supercomputer centers funded by the National Science Foundation, the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has been an integral part of the supercomputing landscape for almost 35 years. SDSC has been there from the early days of purpose-built supercomputers to the era of “commodity clusters” to the recent trend in heterogeneous architectures (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs). Along the way, there has been a shift in focus from massively parallel modeling & simulation to big data analytics and the convergence of AI and High Performance Computing. Join us for history, highlighted developments, trends in supercomputing for science, and a review of how SDSC collaborates with industry to benefit both science and commerce.
