HPE targets HPC and AI infrastructure convergence as supercomputing scale meets enterprise AI

HPC AI infrastructure is no longer a parallel track to traditional computing. They are merging into a unified computing foundation that the supercomputing world has been building toward for years.

The same infrastructure once reserved for national laboratory modeling and simulation has become the foundation for enterprise AI factories, and agents are already running scientific simulations autonomously, said Trish Damkroger (pictured), senior vice president and general manager for HPC and AI infrastructure solutions at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.

“Those things that we call supercomputers are now the exact same infrastructure that you need for modeling and simulation that you need for AI,” Damkroger said. “I’m finally seeing a lot of this convergence, where you have AI steering your HPC workflows, or agents running your simulations.”

Damkroger spoke with theCUBE’s Dave Vellante at the AMD Advancing AI event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the deepening AMD and HPE partnership, liquid cooling as an enterprise imperative and why sovereign AI is expanding beyond national laboratories. (* Disclosure below.)
