The 88th HPC-AI User Forum (UF) was recently held from April 8-9, 2025, in Sante Fe, New Mexico. With a mission of promoting the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users, the UF brings together global HPC-AI leaders from government, academia, and industry to share best practices and lessons learned from across the entire HPC-AI ecosystem. HPC-AI in the cloud, inclusive of hyperscalers, full-service cloud service providers (CSP), and GPU/AI as a service (aaS), was one ecosystem area discussed at the 88th UF. Various perspectives were shared from the following individuals and organizations:
Sam Skillman (Staff Software Engineer, Google Cloud Platform): Progress in Developing HPC/AI Infrastructure
Chris Maestas (CTO, Data and AI Storage Solutions, IBM): IBM Storage Scale for HPC and AI Solutions in the Cloud
