SUMMARY:Agriculture Empowered by Supercomputing
DESCRIPTION:Nicolás Erdödy (Open Parallel Ltd, Multicore World); Arthur Ma
 ccabe (University of Arizona, IFDC); Avinash Sodani (Agrofocal Technologie
 s, Inc.); Mary-Francis LaPorte (University of California, Davis); and Dhab
 aleswar Panda (The Ohio State University)\n\nAgriculture worldwide is faci
 ng massive challenges in production, distribution, pollution reduction, fo
 od security and waste: In a $4 trillion global food production industry, l
 ess than 40% of any crop is actually marketed. The farm, the oldest human-
 engineered system, produces the vast majority of human sustenance and cons
 umes the majority of global freshwater. Its efficient operation is crucial
  —particularly when supply chains are disrupted by wars and pandemics. Thi
 s second BoF will discuss how novel supercomputing technologies, AI and re
 lated distributed heterogeneous systems could empower the primary sector a
 nd, as a result, stop operating in a needlessly fragile and inefficient wa
 y.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\n
