Geoffrey Fox, Jeyan Thiyagalingam, Piotr Luszczek and Tony Hey were at CCDSC meeting in Lyons France Workshop on Clusters, Clouds, and Data for Scientific Computing - 2024
Their talks are
Tony Hey Feynman and Computation: From Los Alamos to Quantum Computers
Geoffrey Fox AI for Science Foundation Models and Patterns
Piotr Luszczek Postmodern HPC: Scientific Library Patterns at the Dawn of Exascale
Jeyan Thiyagalingam Mathematical Perspectives on AI and AI for Science
Due to timing overlap with CCDSC talks, Juri led this meeting although Geoffrey was in attendance muted for the first 30 minutes.
Marisa reported no change in the relation between HPC and Science working groups
Gregor reported on the status of OSMI/MOM6 and Calorimeter benchmarks
Juri presented an excel spreadsheet for the characterisation of ML applications which he uses for a quick "back of the envelope" calculations. There are numerous assumptions in the spreadsheet that need to be validated. In particular the HPC Bernchmark DeepCAM was analysed with picture below. The purpose of this spreadsheet is to provide a framework for reasoning about the runtime and bottlenecks in the application, and also to perform various what if studies.
Followup conversations between Gregor and Juri discussed details of OSMI in the spirit of this spreadsheet
