Webinar on Use of Tianhe-2 Supercomputing 2022 - 「天河二號」應用介紹及個案分享會

 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.
