Track #2: Artificial Intelligence at HPC Scale
To solve a large variety of problems in multiple domains, AI needs massive HPC systems to run its algorithms. On the other hand, HPC is finding its way to increase its impact on our society thanks to the multiple existent AI applications. In either case, the complexity of HPC&AI systems often requires the use of HPC to tackle realistic problems where both the amount of data and the number of relationships among data elements could be monumental.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Deep Learning
- Evolutionary Computing
- Fuzzy Systems
- Intelligence and Cybersecurity
- Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
- Machine Learning
- Natural Language Processing
- Neural Networks
- Social Network Analysis
- Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence
- Computer Vision
- Cognitive Systems
- Data Mining
- Data Science
Track #3: High-Performance Computing Applications
The HPC-Applications track intends to showcase distinct contributions to advanced computing trends and their applications in the Latin American region. Typical examples can be found in cosmology, particle physics, weather prediction, artificial intelligence, climate modeling, geophysics, molecular biology, molecular dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, nuclear physics, and physical oceanography, among many others. An important goal in this track is to intercede in conforming networks of Latin American research and technological groups towards the development of scientific applications of common interest to our region. Furthermore, it seeks to establish new collaborations and synergies to strengthen the existing links among our scientific communities, in particular concerning the following general themes: HPC and Energy, HPC and Environmental Concerns, HPC and Life Sciences, and HPC in Science and Engineering. Applications featuring distributed computing, GPU acceleration, cutting-edge ML tools, and related topics are encouraged to submit contributions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- HPC and Energy
- HPC and Environmental Concerns
- HPC and Life Sciences
- HPC in Science and Engineering
- Other Important HPC Applications
Track #4: HPC Climate and Weather Modeling
HPC systems have become indispensable tools in advancing our understanding of weather and climate systems, enhancing predictive capabilities, and supporting decision-making processes related to climate change and weather-related risks. These systems satisfy the computational and data intensive needs of climate and weather modeling. Additionally, these modeling efforts have leveraged advanced HPC resources to drive advances in terms of modeling methodologies, forecasting resolutions, and the scale of challenges being addressed. We invite submissions focused on climate and weather modeling supported by HPC.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- HPC workflows for climate and weather forecasting
- GPU and accelerator computing for climate and weather simulations
- Advances in this modeling domain enabled by HPC
- Computing resources and infrastructure needs for this modeling domain
- Techniques for deploying and optimizing models on HPC system
