HPC in the Cloud: Unleash Exascale Power & Future-Proof Your Work
11:00 am - 11:30 am
- Abstract: Methods in Machine and Deep Learning are being investigated to either augment or replace traditional simulation. Contemporary trends in hardware and software have enabled convergence of HPC and AI. In this workshop we survey these trends and explore what is available on system level and in software to ease the transition to developing data science workloads. The talks include a walk through the current hardware and system resources available to accelerate the Data Science workflows. It is followed by the cataloging of software tools and frameworks available to develop ML/DL models, accelerate their training process and handle the associated...

Harnessing the Power of Parallel Programming with OpenMP
10:50 am - 11:50 am
- Parallel programming is a fundamental skill for leveraging the full potential of modern CPU architectures in High-Performance Computing (HPC). In this workshop, we delve into the basics of OpenMP, a widely adopted parallel programming model that simplifies the development of multi-threaded applications. Participants will learn about the importance of parallelism in HPC and how OpenMP can be utilized to optimize computational workloads. Through practical examples and hands-on sessions on our online platform CrackHPC, we will explore the core concepts of OpenMP, demonstrating its impact on performance and efficiency in real-world HPC applications.

Deploying Deep learning models on NVIDIA Triton Inference Server
12:50 pm - 1:50 pm
- Deploying AI models can often require advanced setups and custom wrappers, adding extra complexity and time to projects. NVIDIA’s Triton Inference Server simplifies this process by providing a unified, easy-to-use framework for deploying AI models. Triton supports all major backends, including PyTorch, TensorFlow, and TensorRT, and offers an out-of-the-box API endpoint. In this session, we’ll explore how to deploy a pre-trained DL model into Triton in two versions: Pytorch and TensorRT. We’ll also discuss strategies for optimizing resource utilization and demonstrate how Triton can be applied in real-world scenarios.
