Content preview from HPC, Big Data, and AI Convergence Towards Exascale

Foreword

The convergence of HPC, Big Data, and AI represents a cornerstone of the EuroHPC JU’s vision for the upcoming digital decade. HPC, in a broader interpretation, will become the backbone of future applications for numerical simulations, HPDA, and AI. With its ambition to provide a world-class pan-European HPC infrastructure, the JU will deliver state-of-the-art HPC systems across the EU in combination with a strategic research and innovation program, addressing the requirements of the interdisciplinary communities of scientists as well as public and private stakeholders. The federation of resources remains one of the priorities of the EuroHPC JU’s vision, where the JU will connect the European HPC systems to a federated infrastructure ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
