DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gilad Shainer (NVIDIA)\, David Slama ()\nHigh-perfor
 mance computing and artificial intelligence have driven supercomputers int
 o wide commercial use as the primary data processing engines enabling rese
 arch\, scientific discoveries\, and product development. Extracting the hi
 ghest possible performance from supercomputing systems while achieving eff
 icient utilization has traditionally been incompatible with the secured\, 
 multi-tenant architecture of modern cloud computing. A cloud-native superc
 omputing platform aims at the goal of combining peak system performance wi
 th a modern zero-trust model for security isolation and multi-tenancy. The
  key element enabling this architecture transition is the data processing 
 unit (DPU). \n\nThe DPU is a fully integrated data-center-on-a-chip platfo
 rm that imbues each supercomputing node with two new capabilities: First\,
  an infrastructure control plane\nprocessor that secures user access\, sto
 rage access\, networking\, and life-cycle orchestration for the computing 
 node in the data center or at the edge\, offloading\nthese services from t
 he main compute processor and enabling bare-metal multi-\ntenancy. Second\
 , an isolated line-rate data path with hardware acceleration that\nenables
  high performance. All this infrastructure allows a cloud-native HPC and\n
 AI platform architecture that delivers HPC performance on an infrastructur
 e\nplatform that meets cloud services requirements. The implementation of 
 the infrastructure comes from the open-source community and driven by stan
 dards\, similarly as how some of the traditional HPC software stack that i
 s maintained by a community including commercial companies\, academic orga
 nizations\, and government agencies.\n\nWe'll introduce the new supercompu
 ting architecture\, discuss the first cloud native supercomputers\, \, rev
 iew first applications performance results\, and explore future directions
