About the Session
In September 2025, HPC visionary Dr. Satoshi Matsuoka, Director of RIKEN's Center for Computational Science, explained the many advanced computing activities his computational science center is engaged in to advance scientific discoveries and the frontiers of human knowledge. In this session, he will share his views on the challenges, trends, and next steps in HPC, AI, and quantum computing and how they will converge to fundamentally transform scientific discovery. Dr. Matsuoka will discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by this convergence, from hybrid AI/HPC workflows to quantum-HPC integration, and what this means for accelerating scientific breakthroughs in the next decade.
