Deep Analysis & Enterprise Applications
Select a topic to dive deeper, then explore the specific findings from the research, rebuilt as interactive, enterprise-focused modules.
The demand for intelligent, conversational AI in HPC is growing due to increasing system complexity. AskHPC addresses this by providing reliable, context-aware answers.
AskHPC uses a novel RAG framework with a modality-aware parsing pipeline and a dual-context strategy for high-fidelity information retrieval and response synthesis.
AskHPC consistently outperforms direct LLM queries and vanilla RAG systems in correctness and relevance across diverse HPC topics and model scales.
A real-world user study involving 15 HPC experts demonstrated the tangible benefits and high user satisfaction with AskHPC.

The comparison highlights AskHPC's superior performance in key areas critical for HPC user support.
Example: Aurora Job Submission Script
GPT-4 Turbo provided an incorrect script for ALCF Aurora, using Cobalt instead of PBSPro, wrong conda module, and incorrect MPI process count. AskHPC delivered a fully accurate script with references.
AskHPC's RAG approach mitigates hallucinations and provides verifiable, correct solutions for complex HPC tasks.
