Explore sessions across a variety of topics ranging across domain-specific use cases, to the fundamentals of how GPU computing works and what’s new in the latest developer tools.

  1. Convergence of AI and HPC to Solve Grand Challenge Science Problems

    The response to the COVID-19 pandemic poses a Grand Challenge Science problem with immediate impact for global health and well-being. We’ll discuss the award-winning work that was recognized at the recent SC20 event with the Gordon Bell for COVID competition, and provide insight into how the methods were applied, and their future plans.

  1. Mixed-Precision Machine Learning Method for Environmental Applications on GPUs

    A primary machine learning algorithm for spatial statistics is the maximum log-likelihood estimation (MLE) function, whose central data structure is a dense covariance matrix that requires two operations: inverse and determinant evaluation. To reduce the time complexity, we migrate MLE to three-precision approximation (double/single/half) by exploiting the loss of correlation with distance. We exploit the advantages of NVIDIA Tensor Core technology to accelerate spatial modeling on large-scale soil moisture and wind speed real datasets.
