Thank you Glenn for this detailed report and your findings. It would be worth to have a follow-up discussion between us. I think me missed to meet there.

I think it is premature to draw conclusions. EuroHPC JU so far mainly selected the hosting sites for AI factories. The procurements and installations are not done yet. Until then the "traditional" EuroHPC sites also provide access for AI workloads. This was discussed in the "HPC in Europe" session.

I propose you go for an exhibition pass. You can meet almost 200 exhibitors, and attend selected program sessions (e.g. technical BoFs, HPC Around The World), and do the networking in the lunch/coffee breaks

there is no magic cheat code πŸ˜€, what describes your area of work? R&D, Sales, IT Architect, Programming, Administration, etc... Based on your own interests I could give you some hints.

this really depends on your preferences. I know attendees that prepare their full schedule upfront and others that simply let it flow. I recommend you use the topics filter in the program schedule and select your areas of interest.

It's definitely worth attending ISC2025! Many sessions relate to "HPC meets AI", and it's very international - look at the program schedule: isc-hpc.com/program/sche...

Even if a hyperscaler would have such a powerful Exascale system, I wonder would this company spend the effort and compute cycles to run the HPL to achieve #1 of #Top500?

The OCP EMEA Summit in April 2025 in Dublin is an interesting event, in particular regarding future technologies and sustainability topics for data centers - call for papers is still open

I strongly agree. In the past decades we had innovations on both sides (hardware and algorithms). This needs to continue. Just asking for more GPUs, more budget and more MegaWatt is not enough - in my opion.

Torsten Hoefler points out that the rapid expansion of AI system sizes in the private sector makes it plausible to achieve this milestone within 2025, particularly concerning the low-precision computations commonly used in #AI:

For #ISC25 we plan to focus on both β€œHPC Technologies for AI β€œ and β€œAI for Scientific Simulation”. We need to be very precise when mentioning HPC – are we talking about HPC technologies (systems, methods, acceleration, …) or so-called traditional HPC applications (simulation, modelling…).
