AKT’s Research Posters program provides a venue for researchers in industry, academia (including students), and government to present cutting-edge research ideas and late-breaking results. Posters are peer-reviewed by a committee, which may also select a poster for the Best Research Poster award based on quality of research and poster presentation.

Poster topics:

• HPC: High-Performance Computing, Parallel Numerical Algorithms, Mixed Precisions, Parallel Programming Models, Heterogeneous System Architectures, Energy Efficiency, Cybersecurity, Resource Management and Scheduling, System and Performance Monitoring, Scientific Applications and Use Cases.
• AI: Agentic AI, AI Applications powered by HPC Technologies, AI Factories, Digital Twins, Efficient AI – Low-Precision Formats / Sparsity / Compression, Foundation Models – Training and Inference at Scale, HPC Simulations enhanced by Machine Learning, HW and SW Design for Scalable Machine Learning, Sovereignty in AI, AI for Science.
• Quantum: Integration of Quantum Computing and HPC, Quantum Computing Basics and Theory, Quantum Computing Technologies and Architectures, Quantum Computing Use Cases, Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerance, Quantum Program Development and Optimization.

Poster format:

Final poster style, layout, font, and content are left to the discretion of the author(s). Poster size should be such that your poster mounts properly on the 4 feet high x 6 ½ feet wide display board that will be provided at the conference venue.
