Experience the future of GenAI inference architecture with NeuReality’s fully integrated, enterprise-ready NR1® Inference Appliance. In this hands-on workshop, you'll go from cold start to live GenAI applications in under 30 minutes using our AI-CPU-powered system. The NR1® Chip – the world’s first AI-CPU purpose built for interference – pairs with any GPU or AI accelerator and optimizes any AI data workload. We’ll walk you through setup, deployment, and real-time inference using models like LLaMA, Mistral, and DeepSeek on our disaggregated architecture—built for smooth scalability, superior price/performance and near 100% GPU utilization (vs <50% with traditional CPU/NIC architecture). Join us to see how NeuReality eliminates infrastructure complexity and delivers enterprise-ready performance and ROI today.

Session Type:Workshop4:00 PMRuntime Attested HPC Cluster Reference Architecture for Confidential Computing
The rapid evolution of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters has been instrumental in driving transformative advancements in AI research and applications. These sophisticated systems enable the processing of complex datasets and support groundbreaking innovation. However, as their adoption grows, so do the critical security challenges they face, particularly when handling sensitive data in multi-tenant environments where diverse users and workloads coexist. Organizations are increasingly turning to Confidential Computing as a framework to protect AI workloads, emphasizing the need for robust HPC architectures that incorporate runtime attestation capabilities to ensure trust and integrity.
In this session, we present an advanced HPC cluster architecture designed to address these challenges, focusing on how runtime attestation of critical components – such as the kernel, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and eBPF layers – can effectively fortify HPC clusters for AI applications operating across disjoint tenants. This architecture leverages cutting-edge security practices, enabling real-time verification and anomaly detection without compromising the performance essential to HPC systems.
Through use cases and examples, we will illustrate how runtime attestation integrates seamlessly into HPC environments, offering a scalable and efficient solution for securing AI workloads. Participants will leave this session equipped with a deeper understanding of how to leverage runtime attestation and Confidential Computing principles to build secure, reliable, and high-performing HPC clusters tailored for AI innovations.
