ACM Austin + IEEE Day Celebrations with Young Professionals Joint Tech Talks

Join us for an exciting evening of cutting-edge talks at the intersection of AI, HPC, and specialized architectures. This joint event between ACM Austin and IEEE Young Professionals will feature expert speakers, networking, and community collaboration.

### Featured Talk

Speaker: Anup Chakravarthi Suggula
Topic: Advancing HPC and AI Through Specialized Architectures
AMD’s journey toward exascale computing has led to the development of advanced Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) and GPUs, exemplified by the AMD Instinct MI300 Series. This series integrates high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities within a single package using AMD’s innovative chiplet architecture, Infinity Cache, and 8-stack HBM3 memory, delivering over 5TBps peak bandwidth.
The MI300A and MI300X models leverage advanced heterogeneous integration to enable efficient, domain-specific acceleration for AI and HPC workloads, supporting both CPU-hosted and self-hosted configurations for seamless CPU-GPU synergy in high-density and large model environments. These accelerators reflect AMD’s evolution in packaging and hybrid bonding technologies to drive next-generation AI and exascale performance. This talk will highlight how the MI300A and MI300X accelerate HPC and AI in a domain-specific way.

Key Takeaways

• What accelerated processing units are and how they are useful for high-performance computing
• Key architectural changes that can be tailored for HPC vs. ML workloads
• How AMD addresses increased demands in large LLM model training and inference
