SUMMARY:Panel 3: The Path from HPC to AI in Taiwan's NCHC
DESCRIPTION:Ce-Kuen Shieh (National Center for High-Performance Computing,
  Taiwan)\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has been regarded as one of the c
 ompetitive edges of economy. The acceleration of compute cycles, which is 
 often regarded as high-performance computing, is traditionally considered 
 as the strength of scientific advance in research. It is now turned into t
 he powerhouse of AI. NCHC was commissioned by Taiwan government to develop
  a new generation of acceleration platform, namely Taiwan Cloud Computing 
 (TWCC). TWCC cleverly integrates 2016 Tesla V100 GPUs into a HPC system an
 d, by the end of this year, the system will be ready with capacity of more
  than 8 PF performance and 50 PB storage. The energy awareness of the syst
 em built will lead to an exceptional power usage effectiveness of 1.2. Thi
 s significant development will support and bridge Taiwan’s academics and i
 ndustry as the compute backend of AI innovation. By plug-in into the cloud
  infrastructure, NCHC is able to upscale AI with HPC and to benefit the tw
 o worlds of science and economics and satisfy both scientific query and re
 al life needs. In this presentation, I will give an overview of Taiwan AI 
 strategy and the role of NCHC play in the strategy. Further, I will give y
 ou how we develop TWCC to support the Taiwan’s eco-system of AI, which inc
 ludes stakeholders of general users, domain experts, system developers and
  operators and conclude in our future plan for the next 3-year horizon.\n\
