Sponsored Technical Session – AMD

Title: Powering the Modern Data Center with High-Performance Hardware and Software

Date: December 18th

Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Location: Brain Box

Abstract: This session will provide an overview of the various technologies that AMD has developed to meet the performance challenges posed by modern and emerging data center workloads. We will describe the features and design choices made in AMD’s high performance modern server CPUs, advanced compilation techniques employed in the AOCC compiler, and an overview of ROCm, the open source platform for accelerating workloads such as machine learning and HPC workloads on AMD GPUs.

Sponsored Technical Session – Intel

Title: Convergence of HPC and AI with Intel

Date: December 18th

Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Location: Brain Box

Abstract: In this day and age where Deep Learning (DL) models are getting bigger and consuming tremendous amount of data, scalability of systems processing DL models has become a very important topic. The demand to reduce the turnaround time for training and latency for inference is putting further demands on these systems. HPC concepts will help build scalable, efficient and deterministic systems to run these ML/DL systems. In this BoF, we will look at some of the challenges and how we can help solve these challenges.
