AI vs. HPC talk
Supercomputing is hitting practical limits in power, cooling, and scale. Even hyperscale AI datacenters–often advertised as single, hundred-megawatt systems–are actually composed of multiple tightly coupled data centers. As a result, both the HPC and AI communities are increasingly focused on orchestrating complex, distributed workflows that span compute clusters, data systems, and edge facilities. While the workflows of HPC and hyperscale AI differ in implementation, they share many common demands on compute, data, and service infrastructure. Drawing on VAST Data’s work with leading HPC centers and AI providers, this talk explores concrete examples of how complex workflows are implemented in both domains. We will present key similarities between them, examine how hyperscale AI has built upon HPC-driven innovations, and suggest ways HPC can adjust its approach to complex workflows to leverage infrastructure advances from the AI ecosystem.
SC24
The SC24 Conference was held in Atlanta during November 2024. I documented my experience in my SC’24 recap blog post.
