Program | Registration | Abstracts [PDF] | Pictures | Kebnekaise in the Press
High Performance Computing Center North cordially invites you to participate in the celebration of Kebnekaise, the latest HPC2N supercomputer. The morning program offers a tutorial and the afternoon program includes invited presentations by scientists using Kebnekaise, a poster session, and the more formal celebration of Kebnekaise.
The procurement of Kebnekaise was made possible through a grant from the Swedish National Metacenter VR/SNIC and important support of Umeå University.

Accelerating scientific discovery with GPUs and Deep Learning GPU acceleration is changing the HPC ecosystem. The world's top 15 HPC applications today are GPU accelerated. GPUs have enabled Deep Learning models to process very large amounts of data and train deep neural networks. These deep neural networks have in many cases vastly outperformed previous models for a wide range of applications. It is predicted that tomorrows HPC applications wi ll combine both simulation and Deep Learning models to further accelerate scientific discovery. This tutorial presentation from NVIDIA will briefly cover: |
