Industry, Research & Users Symposium
32nd IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, & Analytics
Background on Symposium
The Industry Research and User Symposium (IRUS) is a leading forum bridging advanced technology providers with end‑users of high‑performance computing, data, and AI platforms. It fosters dialogue on emerging challenges, transformative applications, and frontier developments in computational and data sciences.
IRUS has continually evolved, anticipating early technological trends and engaging with themes such as agentic AI, multi‑agent systems, and responsible autonomy, while opening conversations on quantum computing as a future mainstream track. This forward‑looking orientation ensures IRUS remains a space where academic rigor meets industrial relevance, enabling participants to critically examine both opportunities and boundaries of next‑generation technologies.
Past editions (2024, 2022, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 ) have featured vibrant participation from global leaders including NVIDIA, Accenture, ARM, Fujitsu, Amazon, Google, Flipkart, Intel, Infosys, Microsoft, Shell, TCS, and Xilinx, alongside academic institutions such as CERN, IISc, IIIT, and TIFR, as well as disruptive start‑ups like Presto, Nirmai, Prescience Insilico, Khosla Labs, Ushur, and Forus Health. This breadth of engagement underscores IRUS’s role as a unique forum where industry, academia, and start‑ups converge to explore the trajectories of computing and data science.
