Steve Conway and Earl Joseph of Hyperion Research
There’s still Time to register for HPC User Forum in Detroit. The meeting takes place September 4-6 in Dearborn, Michigan.
If AI is in your crosshairs, you won’t want to miss the next HPC User Forum in Dearborn, Michigan. Aside from tackling leadership computing initiatives in the U.S. and around the world, the meeting will zero in on artificial intelligence use cases on prem and in the cloud, especially self-driving vehicle development and urban sensor networks.
Highlights include:
- The exciting agenda includes updates on America’s Exascale Computing Project and from the European Commission, plus a talk from the leader of the European Processor Initiative – and Ford, GM, Dow Chemical, NASA’s the Spaceborne Computer Program, and more.
- A special keynote will feature influential automotive industry services firm J.D. Power and Associates and the Miller Canfield law firm, discussing their new report on the global approaches to legal liability for self-driving vehicles.
- For our Wednesday dinner, we’ve reserved the Henry Ford Museum, where you’ll be free to roam through more than a century of automotive history and vehicles.
