This PhD project aims to study the convergence of high‑performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). As mainstream AI/ML workloads often rely on large‑scale, energy‑intensive supercomputers, the project will critically examine how HPC can further enhance AI/ML, and vice versa. The general research question is: “How can HPC further enhance AI/ML, and vice versa?”

Working closely with the new HPC research group and collaborators (Simula, Inria, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, University ...
