Exploiting Emerging AI Accelerators

The past few years have seen an emergence of specialized accelerators designed to speed up AI applications for scientific discovery. Argonne will participate in two activities highlighting the novel AI accelerators at the ALCF AI Testbed. In a full-day tutorial,  Murali Emani, Varuni Sastry and Sid Raskar will present an overview of Argonne’s five state-of-the-art AI-accelerator systems. Emani and Raskar will also join colleagues from the United States, Scotland, Germany and Saudi Arabia in a session exploring trends in AI accelerators, the software support and training offered, and the challenges in running AI applications. The aim throughout is to help build an AI-ready science research community.
