The ITx 2018 Programme may change without notice
All over the world, Internet of Things (IoT) devices that support edge computing are being deployed everywhere in cities, factories, and homes. At first glance, IoT and High-Performance Computing (HPC) seem to be opposites. However, big-data analysis, data-driven simulation and modeling, in-situ data reduction, machine learning, and in-situ parallel processing are linking intelligent IoT devices and HPC.
This talk will bring together several projects in this new domain and discuss these questions:
