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.

Confidential Computing Consortium
Website: https://confidentialcomputing.io/
The Confidential Computing Consortium is a community focused on projects securing data in use and accelerating the adoption of Confidential Computing through open collaboration.
The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) brings together hardware vendors, cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies and standards.
CCC is a project community at the Linux Foundation dedicated to defining and accelerating the adoption of Confidential Computing. It embodies open governance and open collaboration that has aided the success of similarly ambitious efforts. The effort includes commitments from numerous member organizations and contributions from several open source projects.
Dive into a hands-on workshop designed exclusively for AI developers. Learn to leverage the power of Google Cloud TPUs, the custom accelerators behind Google Gemini, for highly efficient LLM inference using vLLM. In this trial run for Google Developer Experts (GDEs), you'll build and deploy Gemma 3 27B on Trillium TPUs with vLLM and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Explore advanced tooling like Dynamic Workload Scheduler (DWS) for TPU provisioning, Google Cloud Storage (GCS) for model checkpoints, and essential observability and monitoring solutions. Your live feedback will directly shape the future of this workshop, and we encourage you to share your experience with the vLLM/TPU integration on your social channels.
