This lecture covers the computer science issues raised in this talk. The conclusions note that HPDC/HPC is essential; it is good to work closely with industry with student Internships and Collaborations; the Global AI and Modeling Supercomputer GAIMSC is a good framework with an HPC Cloud linked to HPC Edge; MLforHPDC/HPC is very promising where we could aim at the first Zettascale effective performance in next 2 years; MLaroundHPC makes a simulation-based Engineering Health practical.

Fox received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University where he was Senior Wrangler. He is now a distinguished professor of Engineering, Computing, and Physics at Indiana University where he is the director of the Digital Science Center. He previously held positions at Caltech, Syracuse University, and Florida State University after being a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Peterhouse College Cambridge. He has supervised the Ph.D. of 72 students and published around 1300 papers (over 500 with at least ten citations) in physics and computing with an hindex of 77 and over 35000 citations. He is a Fellow of APS (Physics) and ACM (Computing) and works on the interdisciplinary interface between computing and applications. Current work is in Biology, Pathology, Sensor Clouds and Ice-sheet Science, Image processing, Deep Learning, and Particle Physics. His architecture work is built around High-performance computing enhanced Software Defined Big Data Systems on Clouds and Clusters. The analytics focuses on scalable parallel machine learning. He is an expert on streaming data and robot-cloud interactions. He is involved in several projects to enhance the capabilities of Minority Serving Institutions. He has experience in online education and its use in MOOCs for areas like Data and Computational Science.
