Envisioning the future of computing

🎉 Excited to share that my master's thesis at Technical University of Munich on the topic - "Training Heterogeneous Client Models using Knowledge Distillation in Serverless Federated Learning" has been published in the 39th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing! 🚀 Check out the full research article here: https://lnkd.in/eCWwWdD7 A big thanks to Mohak Chadha who supported and contributed to this journey. Looking forward to continuing research in this exciting field! #Research #FederatedLearning #KnowledgeDistillation #ServerlessComputing #ACM #MachineLearning

The future of computing

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science has allocated #supercomputer access to 81 computational science projects for 2025 through its Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program. With access to supercomputers at Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the projects will pursue computationally intensive research campaigns in areas ranging from drug discovery to #cosmology to large language models for #science. DOE is awarding 60% of the available time on the leadership-class supercomputers at DOE’s Argonne and Oak Ridge national laboratories to accelerate discovery and innovation.  The program will support a broad range of high-impact, computationally intensive research campaigns in a vast array of science, engineering and computer science domains. Jointly managed by the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), the INCITE program is the primary means by which the facilities fulfill their mission to advance computational science by providing the scientific community with access to their powerful supercomputing resources. The ALCF and OLCF are DOE Office of Science user facilities. The ALCF’s resources include Aurora, an Intel-HPE Cray EX supercomputer recognized as the world’s fastest AI machine and the second DOE system to break the exascale barrier. Additionally, ALCF is awarding time on Polaris, an HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10+ system that delivers 44 petaflops of Tensor Core FP64 performance. The OLCF’s system is the 2 exaflops peak Frontier, an HPE Cray EX supercomputer that debuted in May 2022 as the world’s fastest supercomputer. #LLM #medicine #research #userfacilities #Argonne #OakRidge https://lnkd.in/gXxkZPEx

🎓 What does it take to develop ethical technologies that truly impact society? Nicolas Christin, Department Head of the Software and Societal Systems Department (S3D) and former director of the Societal Computing PhD program at Carnegie Mellon University, shares his thoughts on the unique responsibility of computer scientists today. In this video, he explains how the program trains students to tackle both the technical and ethical challenges in computing, from biases in AI to the societal impacts of new technologies. At CMU, our interdisciplinary environment fosters collaboration across fields, preparing students to address the complexities of today’s world with innovative, ethical solutions. 🔗 Watch the video to learn more about our program’s distinctive approach to sociotechnical challenges. https://bit.ly/3XVap2Q #SocietalComputing #EthicalAI #TechForGood #DataPrivacy #PhDPrograms

🤔TGIF! Are you curious about quantum computing but not sure where to start? Check out these beginner-friendly resources to kickstart your journey! https://lnkd.in/eyfCMhPG #getquantumfyed #quantumcomputing

If you work in technology, or work with technology, you know that AI and advanced computing (and related research) are incredibly exciting fields and will transform not only how we work, but what we know, what we can do with what we know, and how we live our lives. They also come at a high energy and environmental cost. With that said, I'm excited to see federal investment from National Science Foundation (NSF) in research covering innovation in the areas of sustainability and environmental responsibility in high-performance/advanced computing: -The University of Texas at Austin: Utilizing AI and machine learning to enhance cloud computing software efficiency and reduce energy consumption. -Harvard University: Advancing the Carbon Connect initiative to set new standards for carbon accounting in computing. -University of Massachusetts Amherst: Creating a computational decarbonization field to minimize carbon emissions from computing and societal infrastructure systems. As National Science Foundation (NSF) director Sethuraman Panchanathan says, the partnership between government, industry, and education is critical: "There's tremendous computing needs right now on so many dimensions, whether it is climate mitigation or whether it is AI, whether it is quantum, the modeling needs are tremendous in every aspect of science and engineering. So it's important that we invest, but we also…need to partner with industry very closely.” These technological innovations can, and I believe will, create a great future for our children, grandchildren, and beyond, but require innovating and creating responsibly. I'm grateful to be working for a company as forward-thinking as HP who has shared these priorities in the products we create and innovate. #BetterTogether https://lnkd.in/emYvS6bA

The University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory plan to develop a state-of-the-art facility for high-performance computing and AI research that will enhance and strengthen the university’s research capabilities in science, energy and national security and create new jobs in southeast Michigan
