Overview of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s AI Initiative: Advancing Secure, Trustworthy, and Energy-Efficient AI at Scale for Scientific Discovery
Tuesday February 25, 2025 2:40pm - 3:15pm CST
Auditorium
We will present an overview of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Artificial Intelligence Initiative, which aims to advance the domains of science, energy, and national security. At the core of this initiative are two fundamental thrusts: transformative science applications and cross-cutting assurance. The application thrust focuses on developing AI methods to accelerate scientific discoveries, while the cross-cutting assurance thrust ensures that AI systems are secure, trustworthy, and energy-efficient. Secure approaches include alignment, privacy preservation, and robustness testing for AI models. Trustworthiness is achieved through validation and verification processes coupled with advanced techniques in uncertainty quantification and causal reasoning. Meanwhile, energy efficiency is prioritized by developing scalable solutions, integrating edge computing technologies, and adopting a holistic co-design approach that optimizes the synergy between software and hardware resources.

Targeting Applications to First-Generation Exascale Systems
Wednesday February 26, 2025 10:55am - 11:20am CST
Auditorium
Aurora and Frontier are the nation’s first exascale computing systems for science and engineering, housed at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories’ Leadership Computing Facility sites, respectively. From the perspective of managing ALCF’s applications-readiness program for Aurora, the Early Science Program, and working within the Applications Integration component of the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Program, I will discuss experiences in developing and optimizing applications for these GPU-accelerated architectures. These applications span a wide range of science and engineering domains and include AI and data-intensive computing components—often together in multicomponent workflows. All of the project teams involved were motivated to maintain portability across both exascale platforms, as well as existing pre-exascale platforms. I will discuss their various chosen implementation means to do this, and some cross-cutting best practices.
