Abstract
High Performance Computing has recently been challenged by the advent of Data Analytics (DA), Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this paper we will first look at the situation of HPC which is mainly shaped by the end of Moore’s law and an increase in electrical power consumption. We then explore the role that these technologies can play when coming together. We will look into the situation of HPC and into how DA, ML and AI can change the scientific and industrial usage of simulation on high performance computers. Finally, we make suggestions of how to use the convergence of technologies to solve new problems.
