Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) staff members and users are presenting at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in March with a Summit-focused session in preparation for the launch of the OLCF’s next supercomputer later this year.
GTC, taking place March 26–29 in San Jose, California, is hosted by technology vendor NVIDIA. The annual meeting brings together around 7,000 GPU developers from industry, academia, and government, providing participants with training, insights, and direct access to experts from NVIDIA and other leading organizations.
Since its founding a decade ago, GTC has evolved into one of the largest meetings focused on artificial intelligence in the world. This development has coincided with the rise of GPUs from the tech world’s fringes to the computing engines of forward-looking technologies such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality, and advanced robotics.
Below is information on the OLCF’s Summit session at GTC, “Summit Supercomputer Application Readiness Projects Session,” and the associated presenters and co-authors.
