Combining Geosciences with AI
Leveraging the Computing Revolution in the AI era
The relentless pace of change of HPC technologies, to which the Geosciences have always been accustomed to, is now compounding with the extraordinary acceleration brought about by artificial intelligence. Every day new opportunities for innovation in data processing pipelines emerge, very often accompanied by new technological challenges. At the same time, data density and resolution are constantly increasing, and the latency between data acquisition and processing is constantly shrinking and even becoming non existent when we process data on the edge. This joint session will try to address the landscape of this new and unprecedented scenario. How are the HPC and data processing communities reacting? Is there a convergence path that can maximize benefits without disrupting established data processing ecosystems? Are there any lessons we can learn from past revolutions, such as when we borrowed GPUs from game consoles? Has generative AI already had a transformative impact on our data, just like it is having on text, sound, images, and video? As the evolution of HPC hardware is inevitably increasingly driven by AI requirements, is there a viable way to leverage it to speed-up conventional and well established data processing approaches, or is it time for a radical paradigm change?
