Keynote 2: Into the world of Exascale Computing & Beyond – India's opportunity
Karthikeyan Balakrishnan · 2022
Exascale HPC systems are paving the way to Al-driven HPC research, enabling a new class of data-driven models for solving scientific problems. In this talk, I will highlight a few examples of such Aldriven HPC applications, describe the recent trends in exascale systems and explain the challenges involved in delivering best performance for these applications on such computing platforms. Next, I will describe how one can systematically optimize HPC applications like GNN, Scanpy and QCD on singlecore, multi-core, multi-numa and multi-node systems. Finally, I will share my thoughts on how India can become a global leader in this field by creating interdisciplinary moonshots, bringing academic institutes and industry together for research and building exascale infrastructure, curriculum and skillset.
