Artificial Intelligence Taking to the Cloud
Clay Magouyrk | Executive Vice President for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle

This presentation outlines Oracle’s vision for the future of artificial intelligence, including how AI and automation will drive the next wave of business transformation, the proliferation of technologies focused on understanding human language, intent, and context, like natural language processing (NLP), and how they are reshaping our interactions and businesses, as well as the critical role of high-performing, low-latency infrastructure in driving successful AI initiatives.

Redefine What's Possible with HPC
Trish Damkroger | Vice President and General Manager, HPC, Data Platforms Group, Intel

We are seeing a mass increase in data, coming at us from all directions. Whether you are running AI-enhanced HPC applications on-premises or HPC workloads in the cloud, you need platforms and solutions that will offer the performance, scalability, and flexibility to redefine what’s possible with HPC.

AI Takes to the Clouds

Joint panel discussion with cloud experts Dr. Bill Magro, Google; Nidhi Chappell, Microsoft; Dr. Vikram Saletor, Intel; Shankar Trivedi, NVIDIA; Karan Batta, Oracle

Gartner predicts that AI will become more operationalized by 2024. As companies find more ways to deploy AI, the resource requirement for training data-heavy models will yield increased demand for HPC infrastructure in the cloud. In this panel we speak with chip industry leaders and cloud service providers to get their take on the impact and trends they are seeing from companies who are taking an AI-first approach and how it’s driving the move to the cloud.

Ask The Experts Panel: Semiconductor Design Optimization

Panelists Stuart Taylor, Brian Janes, and Rosemary Francis of Altair discuss how organizations leading the highly competitive semiconductor design space ensure their compute infrastructure is tuned to optimize the high-intensity workloads that are producing faster, smaller, and more innovative chip designs.
