ATIP US-China Workshop on High-Performance Computing (HPC): Specialized Hardware Challenges and Advantages

ATIP请求支持美国-中国关于高性能计算(HPC)的研讨会，该研讨会强调专用硬件。研讨会将包括一系列重要的演讲、海报和来自中国学术、研究实验室和行业专家以及研究生代表团的小组讨论。与会者将讨论的主题包括政府对特殊用途硬件的研究、开发和利用的支持，包括图形处理器和自行开发的处理器；此外，还将强调应用程序。来自业界的讲者将会从不同角度介绍这些硬件在实际应用中的重要性。此外，我们还会特别介绍高性能计算机在香港的研发发展。另一个重要组成部分将是一个小组讨论，小组成员和观众在其中确定适合合作(美国-中国)研究的主题以及发展这些合作的机制。拟议中的研讨会的一个关键方面是为美国研究界成员提供独特的机会，让他们与将前往美国参加的中国顶尖科学家进行互动和直接讨论。研讨会的一个具体目标是推动与美国和中国的研究人员准备联合研究提案。

ATIP requests support for a US-China Workshop on High-Performance Computing (HPC) emphasizing specialized hardware. The Workshop will include a significant set of presentations, posters, and panels from a delegation of Chinese academic, research laboratory, and industry experts as well as graduate students. Participants will address topics that include Government support for the research, development, and utilization of special purpose hardware, including GPU and self-developed processors; in addition, applications will also be stressed. Speakers from industry will provide perspectives of the importance of such hardware for real applications.In addition, a special effort will be made to include HPC R&D developments in Hong Kong. Another important component will be a panel in which panelists and the audience identify topics that are suitable for collaborative (US-China) research and the mechanisms for developing those collaborations. A key aspect of the proposed Workshop will be the unique opportunity for members of the US research community to interact and have direct discussions with top Chinese scientists who will travel to the US to participate. A specific goal of the Workshop is to motivate the preparation of joint research proposals with researchers from both US and China.
