This video goes over the basics of supercomputers and high-performance computing. It introduces parallel programming and the fundamentals of training AI models on supercomputers.

Huihuo Zheng is a Computer Scientist at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. His areas of interests include data management and parallel I/O, large-scale distributed training. He applies high performance computing and deep learning to various domain sciences, such as physics, chemistry and material sciences. He also co-lead the MLPerf Storage Benchmarking group to develop benchmark suites for evaluating the performance of storage system for AI applications. 

Arvind Ramanathan is a computational biologist in the Data Science and Learning Division at Argonne National Laboratory and a senior scientist at the University of Chicago Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering (CASE). His research interests are at the intersection of data science, high performance computing and biological/biomedical sciences. He will be speaking about Autononous Discovery for Biological Systems Design.
