As businesses and technology change rapidly, the complexity of the workloads has dramatically expanded, leading to an ever-increasing need for more power. Many of these workloads require the ability to both scale up and scale out their infrastructure to meet more complex needs and manage ambiguity. To solve your most complex and innovative workloads, Azure has the infrastructure you need with the power of the world’s largest supercomputer, the versatility of the cloud, and the security you expect.
This year’s spring NVIDIA GTC conference is virtual, and we have pulled out all the stops. With 21 Microsoft sessions hitting across 11 topics and 8 key industries, you’re bound to find the topic you’ve been waiting for.
Two of our sessions give you the chance to win a special SWAG box, complete with an HPC t-shirt and NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit. We’re also giving out special SWAG boxes until supplies run out. So, what are you waiting for? Attend these sessions and don’t forget to look for the special link to enter.

The Azure platform enables a new era of innovative applications and services that leverage the versatility of the cloud with the power of supercomputing performance. The convergence of HPC and AI is a revolution, bringing dramatic acceleration to every kind of simulation, and advancing fields across science and industry. Whether you need to scale to 80K+ cores for your MPI-based workloads, or you are looking for AI supercomputing capabilities Azure can support your needs with all of the versatility of the cloud.
In this session, we will provide an overview of the Azure HPC + AI, Confidential Computing, and AI platforms, reviewing recent accomplishments and cover in detail how these portfolios can support your accelerator workload needs ranging from AI inferencing to machine learning and more.
Mark Russinovich Azure CTO and Technical Fellow Microsoft; Ian Buck, Vice President and General Manager of Accelerated Computing, NVIDIA
In this session, Microsoft Azure CTO and Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich and NVIDIA Data Center VP Ian Buck discuss how Microsoft and NVIDIA are partnering together to integrate latest GPU technology with Azure confidential computing to help customers process large data workloads such as AI/ML, multi-party analytics, and 3D rendering, while keeping data private and secure. Currently, there is no comparable offering in the marketplace, and Azure is driving first to market with this game changing technology in our quest to be the most secure cloud.
