SUMMARY:Panel 3: The Path from HPC to AI in Taiwan's NCHC
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nGovernment Strategies, Programs, and Funding, HPC Ce
 nter Planning and Operations, Post-K computer, Professional Development, W
 orkshop Reg Pass\n\nPanel 3: The Path from HPC to AI in Taiwan's NCHC\n\nS
 hieh\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has been regarded as one of the compe
 titive edges of economy. The acceleration of compute cycles, which is ofte
 n regarded as high-performance computing, is traditionally considered as t
 he strength of scientific advance in research. It is now turned into the p
 owerhouse of AI. NCHC was commissioned by Taiwan government to develop a n
 ew generation of acceleration platform, namely Taiwan Cloud Computing (TWC
 C). TWCC cleverly integrates 2016 Tesla V100 GPUs into a HPC system and, b
 y the end of this year, the system will be ready with capacity of more tha
 n 8 PF performance and 50 PB storage. The energy awareness of the system b
 uilt will lead to an exceptional power usage effectiveness of 1.2. This si
 gnificant development will support and bridge Taiwan’s academics and indus
 try as the compute backend of AI innovation. By plug-in into the cloud inf
 rastructure, NCHC is able to upscale AI with HPC and to benefit the two wo
 rlds of science and economics and satisfy both scientific query and real l
 ife needs. In this presentation, I will give an overview of Taiwan AI stra
 tegy and the role of NCHC play in the strategy. Further, I will give you h
 ow we develop TWCC to support the Taiwan’s eco-system of AI, which include
 s stakeholders of general users, domain experts, system developers and ope
 rators and conclude in our future plan for the next 3-year horizon.
