Dr. Kishore Kothapalli and his student Dharma teja Vooturi presented a paper on “Efficient Sparse Neural Networks using Regularized Multi Block Sparsity Pattern on a GPU” at the 26th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, and Analytics(HiPC-2019) in Hyderabad, India from 17 – 20 December.
HiPC 2019 is the 26th edition of the IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data and Analytics. HiPC serves as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in Asia in the area of high performance computing. The meeting focuses on all aspects of high performance computing systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In 2016, to keep pace with new computing trends, the conference added two new areas of interest to its name: Data and Analytics. 2018 marked HiPC’s Silver Anniversary as we broadened the technical program spanning from high performance computing to Data Science.
The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world and receives strong industry support from companies operating globally and also established in India. In addition to the two days of industry exhibits, the sponsoring partners to the conference hold industry symposiums to bring together providers and users of HPC in a forum for presenting state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and technologies, for discussing best practices, and for exchanging experiences
