The 2025 AIHPCcon supercomputing conference continued the theme of "Driving AI Development with Computing Power". The morning session was hosted by Taiwan AI Cloud and the Administration for Digital Industries, moda. It was the final event of this year's "AI International Technology Day" series, focusing on computing power infrastructure, model performance and urban applications, echoing the implementation of the new ten major construction projects for AI.
The afternoon session, co-hosted by Taiwan AI Cloud and the Tainan City Government, was themed "AI City," showcasing city-level AI initiatives. Through keynote speeches and the forum "AI City: Building a City-Level AI Innovation Ecosystem," the session comprehensively demonstrated Taiwan's strengths in AI computing power, model training, and AI Foundry, further empowering cross-domain integration of cities and ecosystems, accelerating the implementation of applications in transportation, healthcare, disaster prevention, and other fields, and forming a replicable and exportable Taiwanese AI development model.
Lin Chien-Cheng, Senior Vice President of Commercial Business at AMD Taiwan, shared that the core of AI Everywhere lies in heterogeneous computing, which requires collaboration between CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs depending on edge, enterprise, and cloud scenarios. Among them, AMD EPYC CPUs are responsible for data preprocessing and loading, while the AMD Instinct MI350 series, with its high memory capacity and performance, helps enterprises reduce overall costs in inference scenarios.
