In line with the celebration theme of the 25th anniversary of the
establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, "25 years of
hard work and a new journey together 「砥礪奮進廿五載 携手再上新徵程」", the Guangzhou
HKUST Fok Ying Tung Research Institute (廣州市香港科大霍英東研究院) would like to promote the country's research
infrastructure to Hong Kong - " Tianhe-2 Supercomputing System
Applications" and the webinar was held on 25th Aug 2022. This
webinar aimed to introduce the application of the starlight cloud map platform
in architectural design BIM, rendering, 3D modeling, clothing design,
metaverse, industry 4.0 digital twin platform, etc. In the beginning, Mr. Kenneth
Wong (President, The Professional Validation Council of Hong Kong Industries - PVCHK)
gave welcome speech.
The first speaker was Mr. Wang (王棟) and he introduced the National
Supercomputer Center (NSCC) in Guangzhou (广州超算中心整体介绍) that serviced more than 5000 users with 300k terminal users cover the
GBA.Tianhe-2 had got six champers for supercomputing in the world.
Then Mr. Wang shared NSCC’s objective, two centres, three directions,
four advantages and five missions. After that he shared some applications such
as earth science, ocean science and life science, etc. They also aimed to
support smart city and industry, especially in anti-covid measures. Finally, he mentioned talent training for
supercomputing (e.g. EasyHPC).
The second speaker was Ms. Shen Fengyi (沈方艺) (Manager, Star Cloud Service, NSCC) and her
topic was “Redefine Cloud Service in Star Cloud (星光云图平)”. Firstly, she briefed the background of infrastructure
as a service (IAAS) based on GPU cloud computing power.
And then she introduced their Digital Workspace and shared some
application cases such as car crash test simulation and VR live streaming.
The third speaker was Mr. Alex Yang (楊春強) (Director, Bentley) and his topic named “Bentley iTwin assist to built
metaverse infrastructure”. Firstly, he briefed Bentley solution and then
explained the digital twin’s maturity levels.
Finally, he demonstrated some application cases including Hong
Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Smart Campus in HKSTP.
The fourth speaker was Dr. Long (龍潇) and his topic entitled “BIM collaboration + GPU cloud”. Firstly, he
briefed the core and characteristic of BIM technology. And then he mentioned
GPU cloud and its core technology.
Lastly, he demonstrated the collaboration platform for BIM and design
employing GPU cloud infrastructure.
The fifth speaker was Ms. Xu Nan and her presentation named “Virtual
Fashion Design”. In the beginning, she introduced ESMOD International Fashion
Institute and Universities Group that covered 13 countries with 20 schools.
Then she mentioned fashion design in Metaverse.
Ms. Xu demonstrated 3D design using different software. Lastly, she said
fashion industry contributed 10% of carbon emission in the earth.
Using supercomputing power and design under metaverse could reduce much
raw material, scrap, transportation and storage area, etc.
The last speaker was Ms. Meidan QI (NSCC) and she introduced different preferential
policies for supporting Tianhe-2 users in Hong Kong such as annual plan
for CPU/GPU time, award for 10k CPU/GPU time for famous publications, contribution
to public account of NSCC and your study using Tianhe-2 as show case.
More and more preferential policies are provided including individual
user or industry user.
