We are a vendor-neutral, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization uniting members from industry, government, and academia worldwide. Our mission is to educate and connect the High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities by sharing the latest technologies, best practices, and strategies to optimize business processes and advance the global HPC-AI workforce.
We focus on the advanced computing systems used for AI, data science, simulation, cloud computing, quantum computing, and visualization. Our members utilize these technologies in their work in oil & gas, renewable energy, weather modeling, life sciences, manufacturing, financial services, and cybersecurity.

The HPC-AI Society.
The HPC-AI Society was a proud sponsor of TPC25, the Trillion Parameter Consortium’s first annual all-hands meeting focused on advancing AI for scientific discovery, and held its July Society event on site with TPC Executive Director Charlie Catlett. President Trump just launched Genesis Mission, an ambitious plan to foster the development of AI for scientific research — well-timed to prime the pump for TPC26 in June.
The HPC-AI Society participated in IMAGE in Houston, TX with a Happy Hour at the Viridien booth and a presentation from our VP Kannan Venkataraman.
Our President Doug Norton sat down with Charlie Catlett, Executive Director of TPC, and Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect Research360, to discuss TPC’s work in advancing AI for scientific discovery and scaling engineering.
Moderated by HPC-AI Society President Doug Norton, distinguished industry professionals discussed the topic “Powering the Future: Is AI Just Buzz or the Real Deal in Energy?”

TPC26 will convene AI leaders globally from industry, academia, and national laboratories to explore collaboration across these sectors and internationally, with the goal of accelerating advances in AI to responsibly and safely address today’s scientific and engineering grand challenges.
The theme for TPC26 is to explore and pursue collaborations between industry and public sector AI research — national laboratories, universities, and institutes — including those building and utilizing AI capabilities, infrastructure, and applications.

The ISC 2026 Exhibition is where the HPC, AI, and quantum computing ecosystem shows what it’s capable of. This is one of the few places worldwide where system architects, vendors, researchers, and operators can stand in front of real systems and speak honestly about deployment, power, cooling, and software stacks.
If you want to understand where high-end computing is actually going over the next few years, this is where you listen, ask questions, and compare stories from people who build and run production infrastructure.

The Department of Energy is seeking input to determine how the nation can train 100,000 scientists and engineers in AI technologies and techniques over the next decade as part of its Genesis Mission project to accelerate scientific discovery.
The Department of Energy launched the Genesis Mission Consortium, a public–private partnership to accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery. Administered by TechWerx, it brings together government, industry, and academia to advance research and strengthen U.S. technology leadership.
Penguin Solutions, Inc. announced the retirement of Mark Adams as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director of the Company. After a thorough search process, the Board has appointed technology veteran Kash Shaikh as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director of the Company.
Amid all the hype about artificial intelligence, quantum computers and advanced chipmaking — to say nothing of the mega-billion-dollar investments— is it possible that the United States still isn’t doing enough to maximize computers’ potential?
