Since introducing the HPC-AI Advisory Council’s (HPCAIAC) first international workshop in 2009, with breakthroughs that include being the first parallel session and first international entity to host an independently organized forum as part of the annual China HPC Conference, leading research centers have collaborated through the member-based ‘for community benefit’ Council to facilitate more than fifty locally-hosted conferences and workshops in thirteen countries to date.
Ongoing now for over a decade, each community-initiated conference encourages a shared knowledge exchange focused on High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the cutting edge domains and disciplines fueling the innovative research, tools and technologies that drive economies, productivity and progress globally.
The annually-hosted conferences feature an extensive network of expertise and provide an intimate platform for peers to gain deeper insights and increase visibility to the works, outcomes and possibilities these complex disciplines, domains and professionals enable.
Registration is currently open for two center-initiated conferences taking place this April. The HPCAIAC is also accepting proposals for contributed talks for the 11th Annual Swiss Conference and HPCXXL User Group in Lugano, Switzerland (06-09 April) hosted in collaboration with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre and HPCXXL Board, and to commemorate the 10th Annual Stanford Conference in California (21-22 April) with the Stanford High Performance Computing Center (HPCC).
As a result of member contributed support, the HPCIAIC also hosts international student competitions including the annual ISC-HPCAIAC Student Cluster Competition (SCC) during the annual ISC High Performance conference in Germany. Prior to the June competition, ETH’s student team returns to Lugano for a second time joining the impressive line-up of Swiss Conference sessions to present their learnings competing in the US and China following their ISC debut last year. The campus-based Stanford Conference also has a strong student participation and features several graduate led sessions.
The HPCAIAC’s conference schedule resumes in late summer with a conference debut in Canberra, Australia (01-02 Sep) through a new collaboration with the National Computing Infrastructure (NCI) at the Australian National University and returns to England for the 2nd Annual UK Conference (13-14 Oct) in Leicester with DiRAC (Distributed Research utilizing Advanced Computing). The HPCAIAC concludes the year with the original, now 12th annual workshop at the China HPC Conference in Zhengzhou (October) and the 2nd annual workshop at the China SC Conference in Beijing (November).
