AI and HPC are increasingly intertwined – machine learning workloads demand ever increasing compute power – so it's no surprise the annual supercomputing industry shindig, SC19 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver next week, has taken on a strong AI cast. As we noted recently ("Machine Learning Fuels a Booming HPC Market") based on findings by industry watcher Intersect360 Research, "enterprise infrastructure investments for training machine learning models have grown more than 50 percent annually over the past two years, and are expected to shortly surpass $10 billion, according to a new market forecast," and much of that training calls for HPC-class systems. With that in mind, here's a rundown of AI-related sessions and activities coming up at SC19 (all event locations are in the Convention Center unless otherwise specified): Deep Learning on Supercomputers, 9am-5:30pm, room 502-503-504: This workshop will be led by Zhao Zhang of the University of Texas, Valeriu Codreanu of SURFsara and Ian Foster of Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago and is designed to be a forum for practitioners working on all aspects of DL for science and engineering in HPC and to present their latest research results and development, deployment, and application experiences. Tools and Best Practices for Distributed Deep Learning on Supercomputers, 1:30-5pm, room 201: This tutorial will be led by Xu Weijia and Zhao Zhang of the Texas Advanced Computing Center and David Walling of the University of Texas and is intended to be a practical guide on how to run distributed deep learning over multiple compute nodes. Deep Learning at Scale, 8:30am-5pm, room 207: Led by seven experts from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Intel and Cray, this tutorial will focus on the impact of deep learning is having on the way science and industry use data to solve problems and the need for scalable methods and software to train DL models.
