Tutorial: Leveraging HPC Resources in AI Research
Presented by Peter Gehler and Matthias Kümmerer
The tutorial will provide a hands-on introduction to the fundamental principles and practical
techniques of high-performance AI computing, including distributed training strategies, GPU
and multi-node acceleration, memory-efficient model optimization, and inference
acceleration. It will cover best practices for leveraging HPC environments, including
supercomputing clusters and cloud-based AI infrastructures, to scale deep learning
workloads efficiently. Participants will learn how to implement state- of-the-art techniques
such as model parallelism, mixed-precision training, and advanced scheduling policies to
maximize performance and reduce energy consumption.
