2025	Integrating a new Paradigm: Artificial Intelligence in Data-Intensive Applications abstract Scientific discovery is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by an unprecedented deluge of data from next-generation experimental facilities (such as High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider), high-fidelity simulations (novel weather prediction), and ubiquitous sensor networks (such as National Ecological Observatory Network). From the petabytes generated by the Large Hadron Collider to the terabytes streamed daily from genomic sequencers and climate models, the scale and complexity of scientific data have outpaced traditional methods of analysis. In response, the scientific community is increasingly turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), as an indispensable tool for knowledge extraction. AI is not merely accelerating existing processes; it is enabling entirely new modes of inquiry. It allows physicists to identify faint particle signatures in noisy detector data, helps biologists predict protein structures from amino acid sequences, and empowers astronomers to classify celestial objects in vast sky surveys.

2021	Expanding IceCube GPU computing into the Clouds abstract The IceCube collaboration relies on GPU compute for many of its needs, including ray tracing simulation and machine learning activities. GPUs are however still a relatively scarce commodity in the scientific resource provider community, so we expanded the available resource pool with GPUs provisioned from the commercial Cloud providers. The provisioned resources were fully integrated into the normal IceCube workload management system through the Open Science Grid (OSG) infrastructure and used CloudBank for budget management. The result was an approximate doubling of GPU wall hours used by IceCube over a period of 2 weeks, adding over 3.1 fp32 EFLOP hours for a price tag of about $58k. This paper describes the setup used and the operational experience. Igor Sfiligoi, Shava Smallen, Frank Würthwein, Nicole Wolter, David Schultz, Benedikt Riedel	e-Science	6
2019	Photon Propagation using GPUs by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory abstract IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic kilometer neutrino detector located at the South Pole designed to detect high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. To thoroughly understand the detected neutrinos and their properties, the detector response to simulated signal and background has to be modeled using Monte Carlo techniques. An integral part of these studies are the optical properties of the ice the observatory is built into. The propagation of individual photons from particles produced by neutrino interactions in the ice can be greatly accelerated using graphics processing units (GPUs). In this paper, we will describe how we perform the photon propagation and create a global pool of GPU resources for both production and individual users.
