OLCF, in partnership with AMD, HPE, and others, invites research teams to participate in a competitive hackathon focused on leveraging AI with Frontier to advance fundamental scientific research. Participants can explore improving AI applications for research by enhancing performance, scalability, and data processing or developing AI surrogate models to accelerate HPC workflows and boost computational efficiency. Selected teams will collaborate with leading experts to push the boundaries of AI and HPC integration. Proposals are due by March 14, 2025.

Quantum computers will likely play an important role in the future of computing, as they promise to solve problems that are traditionally hard to explore on classical (even high-performance) hardware. It is also becoming clear that both noisy, as well as future, fully error-corrected machines will have to work closely in tandem with classical computers (in various contexts: algorithms and applications, control, data processing, etc.). In this talk, after giving a brief introduction to quantum computing, I will outline ORNL's recent integration efforts related to interfacing quantum hardware (both real as well as simulated) into the Oak Ridge Leadership Facility (OLCF), home of the high-performance-computing (HPC) systems such as Frontier. Crucially, I will also discuss ORNL's joint work with Riverlane and Rigetti in building and testing an open-sourced benchmarking and profiling suite called QStone for exploring and analyzing *joint* classical and quantum performance of hybrid HPC/QC workflows.

The Quantum Computing User Forum brings together both users of the Quantum Computing User Program (QCUP) and other interested parties in order to discuss common practices in the development of applications, software, and simulations for quantum computing devices and systems. Hosted by the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Forum is scheduled for July21st-24th, 2025.

Join us for the first annual ORNL Quantum Systems & Software Workshop! This hands-on workshop brings together labs, vendors, and academia to collaboratively refine a proposed Quantum/HPC hybrid software stack. Modeled after the HIP/GPU stack, the framework consists of: Application Layer – End-user quantum applications. Quantum Programming Interface – A...
