ScaDL 2022 Invited Talk 3: Million-x speedups through convergence of AI and HPC

Abstract

Many scientific applications currently rely on the use of brute-force numerical methods performed on highperformance computing (HPC) infrastructure. However, these methods have their limits even with the growing hardware capabilities, e.g. for fine-scale climate prediction and large molecule quantum chemistry. Can artificial intelligence (AI) methods augment or even entirely replace these brute-force calculations to obtain million-x speed-ups? Can we make groundbreaking new discoveries because of such speed-ups? I will present exciting recent advances that build new foundations in AI that are applicable to a wide range of problems such as fluid dynamics and quantum chemistry.
