Cloud/Edge/High-Performance Computing

Cloud computing, edge computing and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving forces behind innovations in fields such as AI, machine learning and real-time systems. Cloud platforms provide scalable, ondemand resources, while edge computing processes data closer to its source, reducing latency and offloading computational burden from the centralized cloud. HPC maximizes computational power to tackle large-scale, complex problems through dedicated hardware and special software. Typical infrastructure in these areas consists of servers connected by high-speed networks, each equipped with high-end CPUs and GPUs. In the post-Moore’s Law era, the convergence of these areas, with increasingly heterogeneous, disaggregated and dynamic resources, presents both opportunities and challenges. Innovations in resource management, parallel computing and system design are now essential to fully harness this evolving landscape, creating the foundation for next-generation computing infrastructures and applications.
