Plenary, breakout, hackathon, and tutorial topics and speakers are TBD as per TPC Steering and Program Committees, and will be announced over the coming months. Some of TPC’s prior speakers include:
Ian Foster, one of the 10 most cited computer scientists in the U.S. His work in “Grid Computing” began in 1994 and provided much of the underlying principles that were applied a decade later to create cloud computing. His team’s distributed computing infrastructure, Globus, is used by hundreds of computing centers around the world for both traditional scientific HPC computing and for AI workflows.
Rick Stevens, who is responsible for Argonne’s HPC center and a portfolio of over $500M/year of research. He has been one of the leaders in the DOE community that laid the intellectual and funding groundwork for the multi-$B Exascale project and the multi-$B plan for DOE investment in AI.
Satoshi Matsuoka, Japan’s leading computational scientist, with a portfolio and responsibilities at Japan’s RIKEN national laboratory similar to Rick Stevens’ programs at Argonne. He has won numerous international leadership awards and received an award from the Emperor of Japan for his work computational modeling of COVID-19 spread, which saved lives through its use designing public health policies during the pandemic.
