Convergence between HPC and Big Data: The Day After Tomorrow

Moderator: Bilel Hadri (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology)

Panelists: Sadaf Alam (Swiss National Supercomputing Centre), Katie Antypas (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), David Bader (Georgia Institute of Technology), Dan Reed (University of Iowa), Rio Yokota (Tokyo Institute of Technology)

Abstract: The relationship between HPC and Big-Data Analytics (BDA) is a recurring theme in the community. There is no doubt that the convergence between the third and fourth paradigms is on the march. The multiple combinations of various techniques from both ends, ranging from virtualization, containerization, and cloud to help researchers in their simulations, represent only an aspect of it. As HPC and BDA become increasingly ubiquitous and intertwined, this synergism will deliver opportunities and challenges that neither disciplines can produce alone.

Join the expert panelists, to learn from their experiences and discuss with them on:

-- What are the challenges and the opportunities that the community will face out of this synergistic relationship?

-- Will users need to make changes to their practices to use upcoming modern resources to solve their workflow more efficiently?

-- How to develop sustainable competencies around implementing and managing new technologies to support diverse workloads?
