Interdisciplinary School on #ML and #AI for Science @michelataufer.bsky.social captivated the students with a dive into the optimization of #DL models through Neural Architecture Search. To address the computational demands, they created Analytics4NN to combine advanced modeling and #HPC techniques

#pasc25 Interdisciplinary Dialogue - Paola Cinnella, Sorbonne kicked off day two of PASC25 with an important question: how sustainable is sustainability? We need #ML to do science but compute demands are increasing surprisingly or unsurprisingly fast together with power consumption ! #HPC #AI #CFD

There is a need to support algorithm development and support, if you do not do that you leave flops on the floor!! Unfortunately, we do not have a model to do that!! Great discussion between Bronson Messer, @ORNL and Nicola Marzari @EPFL and @PSI #pasc25 #HPC

@thoefler.bsky.social in the closing session of #ISC25 said his first and more sincere goodbye to our friend @hpcguru.bsky.social announcing his retirement! Torsten still hopes that HPC Guru plan will fail, but if that really happens we should thank him for such amazing years of #HPC together!
