SUMMARY:HPC and Cloud Convergence: Drivers, Triggers, and Constraints
DESCRIPTION:Felix Schürmann (Google Cloud); Sadaf Alam (University of Bris
 tol, England); Jack Lange (Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)); and Roge
 r Cass (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL))\n\nThis BoF delves i
 nto the evolving landscape of converged computing, where high-performance 
 computing (HPC) and cloud resources are being integrated to meet the compl
 ex demands of modern scientific and technical computing. The increasing ro
 le of AI/ML is accelerating the need for convergence, but additional const
 raints such as sovereignty, the skill set of staff, and data center capaci
 ty limitations require consideration. In this BoF we will look at differen
 t personas: supercomputing centers, cloud providers, research computing, a
 nd industrial users. We aim to provide an overview of converged computing 
 and to identify key concerns and opportunities in this rapidly changing fi
 eld.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\
