SUMMARY:AI's Impact on HPC: Opportunity or Threat?
DESCRIPTION:Florian Berberich (Forschungszentrum Jülich, PRACE aisbl); Joh
 n Towns (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, National Center for Supe
 rcomputing Applications (NCSA)); Toshiyuki Imamura (RIKEN Center for Compu
 tational Science (R-CCS)); and Pete Beckman (Northwestern University)\n\nI
 n recent years, the HPC ecosystem has undergone profound changes. In Europ
 e, EuroHPC JU invested a lot to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosy
 stem with a very strong focus on AI. The objective of this BoF is to give 
 an overview of the current state of HPC activities from Europe, Japan, and
  the U.S., with a particular focus on investments in public AI infrastruct
 ure. We will present and discuss with the different international HPC stak
 eholders the current state of play, future plans, challenges, and analyze 
 critically the impact of an AI-focused strategy for the HPC ecosystem in g
 eneral.\n\nAfter a general introduction, there will be short contributions
  from the international HPC organizations presenting the current developme
 nt of the HPC and AI ecosystem in their respective regions. A discussion w
 ith the audience will show different perspectives from industry and resear
 ch. We will address hardware, software challenges, and identify gaps. The 
 BoF will be closed with a summary of the results for preparing recommendat
 ions.\n\nTag: Practitioners in HPC\n\nRecording: Livestreamed, Recorded\n\
