"State of the HPC-AI Market" -- Highlights from End-User Research on Technology Gaps for HPC and AI

Drawing from recent surveys of the end user members of the HPC-AI Leadership Organization (HALO), Addison Snell of Intersect360 Research will present the trends, needs, and "satisfaction gaps" for buyers of HPC and AI technologies. The talk will focus primarily on the Storage and Networking modules of the survey, with some highlights from others (e.g. processors, facilities, cloud) as appropriate. Addison will also provide overall market context of the total AI or accelerated computing market at a data center level, showing the growth of hyperscale AI, AI-focused clouds, and national sovereign AI data centers, relative to the HPC-AI and enterprise segments, which are experiencing diminishing influence in a booming market.
