AI+HPC:An Overview of Supercomputing System Software and Application Technology Development Driven by “AI+”

Artificial Intelligence(AI) and High Performance Computing(HPC) are two essential technologies in computer science.With the rapid development of computer science and technology,there has been a gradual trend of convergence and deve-lopment of AI and HPC.On the one hand,new challenges in high-performance computing systems require AI-powered solutions(AI for HPC).On the other hand,breakthroughs in artificial intelligence demand the support of high-performance computing(HPC for AI).Consequently,the convergence of AI and HPC strikes the development of core technologies in their respective fields.In this paper,we systematically review the respective technological development in the fields of AI and HPC in the past decade,focusing on three aspects:1)the role of AI technology in HPC hardware architecture,operating system resource management,compilation optimization,and software development,etc;2)the support of HPC for AI in terms of system hardware solutions and software applications;3)prospects and challenges for the future development of AI and HPC convergence.
