abstract = {The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) provides immense
computing power to the national and international research
community. It performs cutting-edge research in, e.g.,
High-Performance Computing (HPC), operating systems,
federated systems and data, Quantum computing, and
computational science. The latter is mainly driven by the
Simulation and Data Labs (SDLs), support structures which
bridge the gap between various domains and the
infrastructure. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is penetrating
most of the scientific domains and is hence a topic
indispensable to research. The advancement of AI
technologies in combination with the massive growth of data
demand scalable algorithms and systems to efficiently train
AI models. Therefore, intertwined AI and HPC development is
becoming more and more a core component of the SDLs. JSC is
involved in major lighthouse projects such as in the
Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network (LIAON),
West-AI, and in the establishment of a National Competence
Center for AI, HPC, and big data analytics in the EuroCC 2
project. The most prominent AI project, which is coordinated
by JSC, is the European Center of Excellence in Exascale
Computing RAISE.JSC is using this momentum and aims at
matching the gathered expertise in AI and HPC to use cases
from regional and supra-regional industry. The Industry
Relation Team (IRT) at JSC, established in 2015, represents
the first contact point to commercial partners. It is the
matchmaking component between external business demands and
JSC’s expertise in HPC hardware and software development.
The IRT provides consulting services, is responsible for
selling compute cycles on JSC’s HPC and Quantum
infrastructure, and channels domain-specific expertise to
customers. The projects managed by the IRT cover a wide
range of industrial sectors, reaching from the automobile
industry over engineering service providers to healthcare
companies. These activities integrate smoothly into the
EuroCC 2 project, which furthermore pushes knowledge
transfer to the public and scientific sectors.All these
transfer activities are continuously converging into a
service landscape to be regionally offered to companies.
This will be realized in the context of the Agency for
Cognitive Computing (ACC), a structural change project that
is currently brought on its way. The ACC will provide
services on various levels to stakeholders in the Rhenish
region. Its competence network together with the expertise,
infrastructure, and development platforms of the
Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and its partners will
facilitate the adoption of cutting-edge research methods in
AI, Quantum, and HPC by local companies. This offer will be
complemented by a massive enhancement of the German-wide
most successful dual degree program in
Mathematical-Technical Software Development, which is
jointly offered by FZJ and the Aachen University of Applied
Sciences – Campus Jülich. This program already has a long
tradition and the students work towards their B.Sc. degree
and a qualification from the Chamber of Industry and
Commerce. In collaboration with local industrial partner,
the next-generation of data scientists educated in
cutting-edge research topics and capable of using FZJ’s
infrastructure are grown. This way, an effective transfer of
knowledge to application-relevant problem setups in regional
industry is facilitated.},
