By Curt Hopkins, Managing Editor, Hewlett Packard Labs
It is one thing to hear about ground-breaking technology, but it is quite another to see, hear, and interact with the scientists, engineers, and researchers who created it. The full spread of sessions offered by Hewlett Packard Labs at HPE Discover 2018 in Las Vegas will provide you with a technical and business intelligence briefing like no other.
Here are the sessions Labs is offering this year.
Spotlight Session
The Machine project and Memory-Driven Computing: Powering tomorrowโs AI-driven enterprise (SL4785)
The Machine project has achieved a lot since it was announced in 2014. We built the worldโs largest single-memory computer and sped up real-world algorithms by up to 10,000x. We are excited about using its Memory-Driven Computing architecture to accelerate machine learning, supercomputing, containerized data centers and edge-to-core distributed systems. Speakers from HPE will discuss our plans to power the hypercompetitive future.
Date: Wednesday, June 20
Time: 1:30 โ 2:30 pm
Moderator: Martina Trucco
Panelists: Randy Meyer, Kirk Bresniker, Sharad Singhal, Michael Woodacre, Dr. Eng Lim Goh
Location: Innovation Theater

Do we have to wait for quantum computers? (IS5090)
Thereโs a new wave in computing coming. We will soon be able to solve โimpossibleโ problems in cryptography, scheduling, supply chain optimization and biochemistry. Quantum computing may eventually be able to crack many problems, but is there a better way? Are there quicker, cheaper, more practical ways to reach many of the solutions that quantum computing is trying to provide? HPE Senior Fellow Ray Beausoleil will demonstrate how Hewlett Packard Labs is thinking beyond the transistor, beyond the qubit, to make the impossible possible.
Date: Thursday, June 21
Time: 11:30 โ 12:00 pm
Session Owner: Rebecca Lewington
Speaker: Ray Beausoleil
Location: Innovation Theater

What is the right hardware for (the next generation of) artificial intelligence? (T4787)
Increased computational power of the hardware is one of the key enablers of the recent revival of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but there isnโt enough computational power to run all possible AI applications of today and tomorrow. This has propelled both industrial giants and small startups to launch efforts in developing special purpose hardware for AI. Which approach will win? It's hard to say. Join Hewlett Packard Labs' researchers to learn more about the requirements for AI algorithms and our development of HPEโs novel accelerators.
Date: Tuesday, June 19
Time: 11:00 โ 11:30 am
Session owner: Natalia Vassilieva
Panelists: Natalia Vassilieva, Suhas Kumar, Thomas Van Vaerenbergh
Location: Theater 4

HPE infrastructure security: Build it in (T4920)
Todayโs security battles are asymmetric and evolving. By 2021, cyber security crime will cost the world economy an estimated six trillion dollars. Resolving the problem requires anticipation of future threats, designing deep security capabilities into products, implementing assurances into product development and manufacturing and providing recovery architectures for enterprise resilience. At HPE, security is always first. Learn about the threat landscape and how our revolutionary self-healing security technology can help.

HPE Deep Learning Cookbook: Get your technology recipe to build a deep learning system (DF4912)
Deep learning is a key enabling technology behind the recent revival of artificial intelligence and is of interest to many companies that believe it can have a profound effect on their businesses. However, these companies lack the expertise to make informed decisions on optimal hardware and software to run deep learning workloads efficiently. Join us for an interactive discussion on how HPEโs Deep Learning Cookbook can jump-start the technologies and tools youโll need to solve different deep learning challenges, depending on your scenario.
Date: Tuesday, June 19
Time: 10:00 โ 10:30 am

Breakout sessions
Creating intelligent mobility using Memory-Driven Computing from edge to cloud to core (B4913)
Data is a potent raw material for economic growth. But how can enterprises maximize their data potential when, by 2020, three out of four bytes will never see a data center? By bringing the enterprise to the data and exploiting the interlocking information lifecycles that refine raw data into economic activity. Join Kirk Bresniker, Hewlett Packard Labsโ Chief Architect, to learn how a unified architecture can turn a disjointed collection of transportation modes into intelligent mobility, the vital heart of smart city economics.
Date: Tuesday, June 19
Time: 4:30 โ 5:30pm
Session owner: Rebecca Lewington
Speakers: Kirk Bresniker
