ExHetAI 2025
The first International Workshop on Extreme Heterogeneity and AI Convergence in HPC
to be held in conjunction with SC 2025

Nov. 16, 2025
St. Louis, MO, USA

[Introduction]
The increasing convergence of AI and HPC, combined with the rapid evolution of heterogeneous computing architectures, is transforming modern supercomputing. The emergence of specialized accelerators, including GPUs, TPUs, IPUs, neuromorphic chips, quantum processors, and FPGAs, has introduced new challenges in performance portability, system optimization, and software adaptability. In this exascale and extreme heterogeneity era, effectively exploiting diverse hardware architectures requires AI-driven approaches, novel programming models, and intelligent workload management. This workshop will bring together experts from academia, industry, and national laboratories to explore AI-HPC convergence, heterogeneous system architectures, energy-efficient computing, and AI-assisted performance optimization. By fostering interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations, the workshop aims to advance scalable, efficient, and sustainable computing. We invite contributions on topics including heterogeneous hardware, AI-driven HPC techniques, memory architectures, and programming models, with a focus on shaping the future of AI-driven scientific discovery and high-performance computing.

[Topics of Interest]
This workshop invites contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

AI and HPC Convergence: Integrating AI-driven approaches in HPC applications and scientific computing.
Heterogeneous Architectures and their use in HPC and AI: Advances in GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, neuromorphic chips, quantum processors, and domain-specific accelerators.
Programming Models and Portability: Tools, frameworks, and methodologies for optimizing code across diverse architectures.
AI-Assisted System Optimization: AI-driven compilation, scheduling, autotuning, and resource management for heterogeneous systems.
Memory and Data Management: Hierarchical memory architectures, data locality strategies, and high-performance I/O.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: AI-enhanced power management, green computing strategies, and efficient workload scheduling.
