ASC22 Student Supercomputer Challenge Preliminary: Large AI Language Model and AI in Scientific Research

Key Facts

In the preliminary round of ASC22, all teams are required to tackle two very advanced tasks: Yuan1.0 - large AI language model, and an excellent combination of AI with advanced scientific application - DeePMD-kit.
Training such a large AI model requires massive computing tasks of parallel computing, presenting a real-life test to the student teams for their skills in supercomputing application optimization.
The student teams will have hands-on experience in building a model with DeePMD-kit, and optimize the HPC system for delivering the maximum training speed.
HPC and AI experts from Intel, NVIDIA, AWS Cloud, DP Technology, and the State Key Laboratory of High-end Server & Storage Technology will lecture the teams how to prepare for the competition by providing advice on competition rules, on-prem and cloud HPC cluster design and optimization, etc. The winners of previous seasons will also share their experiences during the training camp.
