FM 61.1: Talk

Wednesday, September 25, 2019, 16:30–16:40, Aula

IT infrastructure of the future - Envison the future of Computing! — •Ingolf Wittmann — Leader of IBM Q Ambassadors EMEA, CTO & Leader of HPC Europe, IBM Deutschland GmbH, Ehningen

Cognitive computing is on everyone's lips as the limitations of Moore's Law, so there are new technologies and approaches necessary to make cognitive solutions a reality. This is also affecting HPC environments, instead of brut force simulation intelligence is coming into the game with new AI approaches. For that there is a need for HPC neuromorpic computing based on accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs, neuromporphic chips, or quantum computing. The presentation will point out based on real examples how IT environments can benefit from such solutions and technologies to drive cognitive solutions and machine/deep learning including future processor technologies and compute architectures which still will allow the immense increase in performance for HPC environments.
