SC24 Report - Showcasing technologies for more convenient and efficient use of supercomputers

Introduction

Hello, I'm Hiroki Ohtsuji from the Computing Laboratory at Fujitsu Research. Today, I would like to share my report on attending the ACM/IEEE SC24 (officially known as The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis) held in Atlanta, Georgia. This conference is the world's largest international conference on supercomputing, where we showcased and presented technologies such as the AI Computing Broker (blog post, video, PDF) and Interactive HPC (video, PDF).

Multi-AI agent security technology to protect against vulnerabilities and new threats

Hello, we are Andrés and Roman from Data & Security Research Laboratory. We believe that Generative AI can be a positive tool to enhance the cyber security readiness of organizations across the world, but also that these tools need to be protected from misuse and attacks. For these reasons, our teams have been working at the development of two complementary technologies, and we would like to introduce them in this post.

Demonstration of Ocean Digital Twin Technology at Nationally Certified Sustainably Managed Natural Site in Ishigaki Island

Hello, this is Iida from the Converging Technologies Laboratory at Fujitsu. Our research group is developing Ocean Digital Twin technology to fully digitize the ocean. As part of this, we conducted a demonstration in the Nosoko area of Ishigaki Island, the first site in Okinawa Prefecture to be recognized as Nationally Certified Sustainably Managed Natural Site. Let me share the details of this project.

An Introduction of technologies to enhance spatial understanding abilities to realize "Field Work Support Agents"

Hello. We are Hirai, Moteki, and Masui from Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

In October 2024, Fujitsu began offering "Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent", which enables AI to collaborate with humans to autonomously perform advanced tasks. An AI agent is an evolving form of generative AI that can analyze what individual tasks are needed for a given goal, plans the entire processing flow, and autonomously achieves the goal by utilizing available resources. So far, various AI agents have been proposed and announced, but what we are targeting is not only conventional office work, but also field work such as manufacturing, logistics, public and road management, and construction. At work sites, it is becoming difficult to secure the high level of proficiency and man-hours of workers due to the aging of the population and the shortage of human resources. This has led to increased burdens on field managers and workers for safety management and training, creating a social problem.

Built an AMD GPU Cluster for Large-Scale AI and LLM Research and Development

Introduction

I'm Hiroki Ohtsuji, working on parallel computing infrastructure technology at Fujitsu Research. Today, I'd like to introduce our GPU cluster "Ashitaka," designed for AI and LLM research and development.

The evolution of AI technology is rapid, and securing computational resources is crucial in the competitive landscape of research and development. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are indispensable for training and inference of AI models. While NVIDIA GPUs are well-known and widely used in AI research and development at Fujitsu, we have also built a cluster utilizing AMD GPUs. In this post, I will discuss why we chose AMD GPUs for AI research and development and the technical efforts behind this decision.
