Since 2010 the Saudi HPC/AI Conference has moved between the Kingdom's universities, national research centres and industry hosts — tracking the shift from raw supercomputing capacity to applied artificial intelligence.
King Khalid University
Resilience and Sustainability: Harnessing HPC and AI for Climate, Natural Resources, and Agriculture
The Abha edition turned the programme toward environmental application — climate modelling, water and land resources, and agricultural systems under strain.
Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University
Using HPC & AI to Accelerate and Enable Scientific Discovery and Innovation
Hosted in the Eastern Province, this edition focused on shortening the distance between computational capability and published research results.
King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology
Convergence of HPC, Big Data, AI, and IoT
A national reading of what happens when four separate technology stacks stop being treated separately — and what that demands of infrastructure.
Intel
Convergence of HPC with Big Data, AI, and Cloud Computing
An industry-hosted edition examining how cloud delivery and AI workloads were reshaping traditional high-performance computing architectures.
King Abdulaziz University
HPC, Big Data, Quantum Computing, Benchmarks, and Applications
Jeddah paired established benchmarking and applications work with one of the programme's first serious looks at quantum computing.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
Coordinated Efforts for the Advancement of an HPC Ecosystem in the Kingdom
The seventh edition of the series, and one of the largest conferences KAUST has hosted, drawing 333 participants. Two days of keynotes, lightning talks and posters closed with an open session drafting a national action plan; the third day ran eight technical tutorials, including hands-on training on Shaheen II.
King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology
A Riyadh edition hosted by KACST. Full programme details for this year are not currently on record.
Saudi Aramco
Saudi HPC
Aramco's third turn hosting the series, keeping the conference anchored in the industrial computing work of the Eastern Province.
Saudi Aramco
Saudi HPC
A second consecutive Khobar edition, consolidating the series as a recurring national meeting point rather than a one-off event.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
Hyperbolic PDE Solvers, Wave Propagation, Scientific Software Development, Visualization and Python
A deliberately hands-on, week-long edition built around numerical methods and scientific software practice rather than plenary talks.
Saudi Aramco
HPC Past, Present & Future
An early stock-take of where high-performance computing stood in the Kingdom and where its next decade of investment should go.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
The earliest edition on record, and the industry-hosted starting point for what became a fifteen-year national series.
