Mateo Valero discusses history of vector architectures: Back to the Future in #HPC and #AI.
He also mentions the three quantum computers connected to an NVIDIA Blackwell system in BSC's chapel ⛪️.
Ending his talk looking for a future site 😀.
Yutong Lu reveals the LineShine exascale architecture for #HPC - #AI convergence: 2 exaflop sustained fp64 at 40 MW with 1.34 million ARM CPUs using SME and 4TB/s HBM connected with 800G.
From "offline to online acceleration with SME".
Taisuke Boku follows on another interesting note: Japan is "changing lanes" from CPU to GPU and from "Made in Japan" to a collaborative "Made with Japan", partnering Fujitsu with NVIDIA.
"We don't chase fp64 performance but focus on #AI flops".
Onward!
Jack Dongarra's opening keynote at HACI 2026!
#HPC in transition - the investments in compute infrastructure are unprecedented but focus mostly on #AI workloads. Scientific numerical simulations need to adjust!
Many interesting challenges ahead.
"Shock! Shock!" is how the "Father of the Analysis of Algorithms" Don Knuth described an interaction with Claude, proving a problem he worked on for weeks
#Supercomputing enables the unthinkable and begins to automate the scientific method and progress

Nvidia faces criticism from the HPC community over flat FP64 gains as GPUs pivot toward AI. While experts like Jack Dongarra note limited 64-bit progress, Nvidia says FP64 isn’t abandoned, and future GPUs will boost it.

The Deepseek team seems to continue keeping a low profile in China. I didn't see any booth or talk from them during #WAIC25. AI is hot, while @deepseek_ai keeps cool. Looking forward to their V4 and R2 soon!
