Yotta Labs Accepted to Host Panel at SuperComputing 2025

“Decentralized Compute Infrastructure for HPC and AI”

Yotta Labs is proud to announce its acceptance into the upcoming SuperComputing 2025 (SC25) conference, where CEO Dr. Daniel Lee, alongside Chief Scientist and Professor Dong Li of UC Merced, will host a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session titled: “Decentralized Compute Infrastructure for HPC and AI.”

As high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads continue to expand in scale, centralized data center models are running into critical bottlenecks in sustainability, scalability, and resilience. This BoF will convene researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners to explore decentralized architectures that leverage edge computing, federated orchestration, modular microdata centers, and decentralized governance models.

Goals of the Session

Drive a dynamic discussion on architectural shifts needed to support decentralized computing for HPC and AI.
Exchange experiences and best practices from research labs, academic institutions, industry practitioners, and cloud providers.
Identify shared challenges — including data sovereignty, security, and workload scheduling — while brainstorming collaborative solutions.
Build momentum toward standardization and interoperability frameworks that enable scalable, efficient, and secure distributed infrastructures.

Topics of Exploration

The panel will explore a broad spectrum of issues central to the future of decentralized computing, including:

Architectural Models — Comparing centralized vs. decentralized HPC/AI architectures, deployment of edge clusters, and federated supercomputing networks.
Intelligent Resource Management — AI-driven orchestration, decentralized workload balancing, and data-locality optimizations.
Security & Governance — Identity federation, zero-trust models, and secure multi-institution collaboration.
Interoperability & Standards — Open-source frameworks, APIs, and benchmarking for reproducibility across environments.
Sustainability — Renewable energy integration, carbon-aware workload placement, and energy-efficient regional HPC design.
Real-World Use Cases — From scientific instrumentation at the edge to climate modeling and global-scale AI training.
Collaboration & Adoption — Funding models, institutional case studies, and pathways to long-term operational sustainability.

Why This Matters for the HPC Community

This BoF directly aligns with the mission of SC25: advancing innovation in HPC, networking, storage, and analysis. As data-intensive AI and HPC workloads strain the limits of centralized infrastructures, decentralized data centers provide a compelling alternative — enhancing resilience, geographic accessibility, and democratization of compute resources.

Attendees will gain fresh insights into the next generation of compute infrastructure while contributing to a collective dialogue that could shape future standards, open-source frameworks, and community-driven collaborations.

“The future of HPC and AI will not be defined by a single data center but by a federated ecosystem of compute resources that are sustainable, secure, and globally accessible,” said Dr. Daniel Lee, CEO of Yotta Labs. “This session is about bringing the community together to define that future.”
