Monday November 7th, 2022
from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Aachen Conference Room, 3rd floor, TGGS Building
Abstract: Foundation for Scientific Advancement High Performance Computing (HPC) has been the key pillar for accelerating the scientific advancement. The technology helps to aggregate the computing power and empower the researchers to perform the simulation. This helps to advance the mankind life in many aspects, from your daily routine activities into your health beings. The lecture will provide fundamental knowledge on High Performance Computing from both technology and business aspects. We will also give some use cases for the appreciation of HPC impact to different segments such as banking, energy and etc. We will also provide some trends in the HPC especially on area like AI/ML and Quantum Computing.
