This Summer School Covered:

Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence have become essential in today's world, with their computational demands growing exponentially in the last decade. Existing hardware solutions struggle to meet these performance requirements, making Pigh Performance Computing (HPC) the ideal solution. HPC systems provide the power and scalability needed to process vast amounts of data and execute complex AI algorithms. With high-performance architectures, parallel processing capabilities, and advanced interconnects, supercomputers excel at accelerating Big Data Analytics and unlocking the full potential of AI. By embracing Supercomputing parallel programming the researchers can effectively harness the power of Big Data and AI to gain valuable insights, make data-driven decisions, and drive innovation across various domains.
