HPC in the Age of AI Agents

AI agents are opening up new possibilities for HPC environments: user assistance, task automation, workflow optimization, infrastructure operational support, and technical decision support. Through an introductory keynote followed by a roundtable discussion with industry players and technology partners, this workshop will explore the concrete opportunities, current limitations, and necessary conditions for integrating these new approaches into demanding HPC environments.

Quantum computing and HPC: what we can test today, what we still have to wait for

Abstract: We share this unfiltered, firsthand experience: what is actually testable today on an existing HPC pipeline, what isn't yet, and how to conduct a first serious test. We will demonstrate how a QPU integrates into a production environment – ​​using our open-source tool Q4HPC and our NVQLink PoC built with a French manufacturer – and we will conclude with the questions to ask before getting started.

From 1:45 PM to 2:30 PM - Room 352B

The CEA is a public research organization whose role is to inform public decision-making and to provide French and European companies and communities with the scientific and technological means to better control four major societal changes: the energy transition, the digital transition, the health of the future, and defense and global security. Its purpose is to act to ensure scientific, technological and industrial leadership for France and Europe, as well as a better controlled and safer present and future for all. The workshop will present the various computing centers of the CEA, their evolution, their economic model, and the services implemented.

From 3:00 PM to 3:45 PM - Room 352

How can we continue to increase computing capacity when the data center itself becomes the limiting factor?

The need for high-performance computing and AI is growing faster than the infrastructure that hosts it. For many data centers, it is no longer technology that limits growth, but available space, power, cooling, and budget.

This roundtable brings together École Polytechnique, CFI, and Hypertec to discuss a concrete case: how Polytechnique evaluated different options for increasing its computing capacity, and why immersion cooling emerged as a relevant solution. The speakers will share points to consider and validate before deployment, and the discussion will conclude with an overview of the evolution of more modular HPC infrastructures.
