SUMMARY:Rethink Computing: Pioneering Next-Level Architectures for Sustain
 able AI and HPC
DESCRIPTION:Bob Sorensen (Hyperion Research); Dieter Kranzlmüller (Leibniz
  Supercomputing Centre (LRZ)); Michela Taufer (University of Tennessee, Kn
 oxville); Michael Förtsch (Q.ANT GmbH); and Rick L. Stevens (Argonne Natio
 nal Laboratory (ANL))\n\nAs AI and high performance computing (HPC) demand
 s surge, traditional electronic architectures are hitting their limits. Th
 is panel explores the next wave of computing, spotlighting photonic comput
 ing—a revolutionary approach that uses light instead of electrons to achie
 ve unprecedented energy efficiency, bandwidth, and computational density. 
 We will position photonic computing within a broader landscape of emerging
  technologies, including heterogeneous ecosystems that blend digital chips
  (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs) and analogue or quantum systems. Panelists will examin
 e the challenges of power consumption, data movement, and integration with
  current infrastructures, offering insights into how next-generation archi
 tectures can meet AI and HPC demands while advancing environmental sustain
 ability. The discussion will highlight key steps for moving photonic compu
 ting from lab-scale innovation to industrial-scale deployment, and address
  the status, challenges, and opportunities for integrating these technolog
 ies into today’s computing infrastructure and industry standards.\n\nTag:
