Listening to #SCAsia / #HPCAsia closing session keynote by Kathy Yelick on how the community of #HPC must adapt in the new world of computing driven by #AI

So, in another win for AI, the automatic japanese translation for a Spanish keynote speaker mistranslated their English to "I had diarrhea and I fainted."

Good job there.

#HPCAsia #HPC #AI

Amirreza Rastegari - benchmarking expert from Microsoft #HPC / #AI engineering group - giving talk at #SCAsia / #HPCAsia on Azure HBv5 clusters using AMD CPUs with HBM plus InfiniBand interconnect - enabling sector-leading #HPC application performance via huge memory bandwidth

Noooooooo!!

#ExaFlops not ExaFlop

#SCAsia / #HPCAsia

At 2500 attendees, good spread of international attendance, lots of good talks/papers, can we argue that the combined #SCAsia + #HPCAsia is finally joining SC and ISC to form a “big three” annual event of #supercomputing instead of just the traditional “big two”?

Found the venue, so my Osaka adventure is off to a good start.

On my way to #HPCAsia in #Osaka now! #OIST will have a booth and I will be hanging around there for much of the time. If you're going, come by and say hi!

The #SCA #HPCAsia 2025 #HPC conference in #Osaka registration is open and the full program is online:

Worth noting that it's quite a bit cheaper than SC or ISC; and the tutorials (and lunch) seem to be included in the price. I joined the #Spack tutorial two years ago; it's a good one.
