A3D3 Kick-off meeting
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) program, is providing funding to establish the Accelerated AI Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3) Institute, a multi-disciplinary and geographically distributed entity with the primary mission to lead a paradigm shift in the application of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) at scale to advance scientific knowledge and accelerate discovery.
The A3D3 Institute was funded on 1 October 2021, and is ramping up its activities. This kickoff workshop brings together members and collaborators of the A3D3 to develop the activities which will be pursued in the five years of the Institute. The goal, motivation, deliverables, milestones, and timeline will be identified for each activity. We should leave the workshop with a comprehensive Project Execution Plan. This plan will be used to develop the Management Plan requested by the NSF due mid of December.

HAC (Hardware and Algorithm co-development) is one main research direction of A3D3, where the goal is to study the state-of-the-art AI hardware and algorithms for scientific applications. In this session, we have four talks that include AI algorithm/hardware design for physical applications, and efficient compilation tools for AI hardware automatic design.

Targeted and heterogeneous systems¶Conveners: Eli Shlizerman, Javier Mauricio Duarte (Univ. of California San Diego (US))
-
11:00
Targeted systems: hardware-based, edge devices, on-sensor, including FPGA, ASIC, or other technology used for monitoring, instrument control, data selection, or data processing often in real-time or with very low latency.
Heterogenous systems: CPUs + coprocessors, high-throughput data processing, may include HPCs, cloud resources, asynchronous communication, as-a-service.
This section will give a brief overview of the different systems we target in HEP, neuroscience, and MMA with a look toward how we can develop common tools and techniques. Each talk will address:
- What the targeted/heterogeneous systems look like (hardware specifications, constraints, etc.)
- How we currently "program" these targeted systems (including the use of AI algorithms and tool flows like hls4ml)
- Thoughts for improving workflows, infrastructure, which can be developed in common
