DESCRIPTION:The session titled “Introduction to World-Class Supercomputin
 g with the LUMI Supercomputer” was successfully held on Tuesday\, 30th D
 ecember 2025\, at the Smart Room of the Department of Electrical and Elect
 ronic Engineering\, University of Peradeniya. The event was organized by t
 he IEEE ComSoc Student Chapter with the objective of introducing students 
 to modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) technologies and their real-wor
 ld impact.\n\nThe session was conducted by Mr. Pramod Munaweera\, Operatio
 ns Manager of the LUMI Supercomputer\, who provided an insightful overview
  of HPC fundamentals and the architecture of LUMI\, one of the world’s m
 ost powerful and energy-efficient supercomputers. The speaker explained LU
 MI’s heterogeneous CPU–GPU design and highlighted how such architectur
 es enable large-scale computations with high energy efficiency.\n\nFurther
 more\, the talk explored diverse applications of supercomputing\, includin
 g climate modeling\, cancer research\, artificial intelligence and large l
 anguage models (LLMs)\, digital twins\, and drug discovery. The session co
 ncluded with an interactive discussion where participants actively engaged
  with the speaker\, clarifying technical concepts and learning about resea
 rch and career opportunities in the field of supercomputing.\n\nOverall\, 
 the event successfully enhanced participants’ understanding of advanced 
 computing systems and inspired interest in high-performance computing and 
 AI-driven research.\n\nSpeaker(s): Pramod\, \n\nRoom: Smart Room\, Bldg: S
