Challenge “An Ideal System Architecture for the Convergence of HPC and A”
The adoption of machine learning (ML) has skyrocketed in the past few years, creating new computing demands and challenges. HPC simulations produce large amounts of data, which ML can rely on and benefit from. HPC systems should be designed to serve both scientific and ML applications. Traditionally, HPC has larger compute, storage, and fast network requirements. ML codes can run on both CPUs and accelerators (GPUs), but they are proven to perform faster and more cost-effectively on GPUs.
Containers are playing a major role in delivering ML software, but HPC scientific applications have yet to adapt to a container-based software delivery model. As a result, there are mixed hardware and software requirements when HPC and ML need to coexist. Many sites have proven that it is possible to have a converged infrastructure, but everyone has their own challenges.
This competition is about putting together your ideas for an ideal unified HPC and AI system.
Submission Requirements
