Keynotes:

Matt Vincent, Editor-in-Chief, Data Center Frontier, Present and Future HPC Trends, Forecast, and Implications Within Data Centers

HPC is now embedded in commercial data centers, coexisting with hyperscale AI infrastructure. This session offers a forward-looking analysis of how these workloads will coexist, collide, and coevolve, shaping the future of computing, energy use, and data center strategy through the end of the decade.
From cutting-edge silicon to liquid cooling, and AI workload convergence to regional power infrastructure, this session will present trends defining the next era of high-performance infrastructure.
