SC2025 Advanced Architecture Testbeds BoF
“Advanced Architecture Testbeds: Community Resources for Enhanced HPC Research”
November 19th (Wednesday), 5:15-6:45 CST Room: 126 (Map)
Please remember to review the BoF, if you attend! Use the “Give Feedback” button on the session page.
This year’s BoF session will have a focus on testbeds that support emerging technology research related to hybrid classical-quantum systems, open source hardware (RISC-V), and emerging AI accelerators.
Panelists:
- Nick Brown - EPCC
- Teresa Cervero García - BSC
- Mosè Giordano - UCL
- Kristel Michielsen - RWTH Aachen University
- Amir Shehata - ORNL
- Miwako Tsuji - RIKEN Center for Computational Science
Questions for the Panel
We also include some questions from previous BoFs to use as seed questions for further discussion. See the included slides from last year for some of the captured BoF discussion with attendees. - Slides with Questions for Panel and Questions from BoF Attendees
1) What are the goals of your testbed program? 2) How are you envisioning using your testbeds to evaluate the latest AI or quantum computing technologies? 3) How are your testbeds being updated for post-exascale computing evaluations? - (optional) If you could change one architectural component of your test bed to make it better, what would this component be and why? 4) How do users use your testbed? What are the costs from a user learning and training perspective of accessing quantum resources? 5) Lessons learned: Can you share the key successes and challenges experienced during your testbed programs?
Organizers:
