The brightest minds in HPC, deep learning, and machine learning from all over the world will come together at SC18, in Dallas next week, to discuss and demo their computationally intensive projects.
This year, NVIDIA will showcase its work with some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, including the Summit system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Sierra system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Summit is the world’s fastest supercomputer and Sierra is the third fastest, according to this summer’s Top500 list.
Summit, an open system for researchers worldwide, features more than 27,000 NVIDIA Volta Tensor Core GPUs for over 200 petaflops of double-precision computing for HPC and 3 exaflops of mixed-precision.
Sierra features more than 17,000 NVIDIA Volta Tensor Core GPUs delivering 7 peak teraflops of double-precision floating-point performance and 125 teraflops of deep learning performance.
SC18 is also where the winner of the Gordon Bell Prize — the top award for science, engineering and large-scale data science — will be announced. Five of the six finalists accomplished their amazing achievements on the GPU-accelerated Summit and Sierra systems.
Don’t miss the following SC18 sessions hosted by NVIDIANs:
- Mike Houston – Exascale Deep Learning for Climate Analytics
- Kate Clark – Simulating the Weak Death of the Neutron in a Femtoscale Universe with Near-Exascale Computing
