ChatGPT has become the hottest topic nowadays. However, High Performance Computing (HPC) is not even known in the Hong Kong market. As a professor of theoretical physics at the Washington University, Dr. Wai Mo Suen came to the Chinese University of Hong Kong as a visiting professor to conduct research on black holes in 1999. However, he was surprised to find that Hong Kong did not have the necessary high-performance computing facilities for large-scale numerical research. This was in contrast to the United States, where HPC was extensively used not only for scientific research, but also for practical problems in areas such as finance, manufacturing, and public services. This prompted Dr. Suen to establish ClusterTech Limited with the vision of promoting the application of advanced computing technologies in the Greater China region and APAC.

Recently, ChatGPT has garnered worldwide attention for its ability to generate human-like responses to natural language queries. The GPT-type generative AI represents just one direction of deep learning neural network techniques that have made significant breakthroughs based on High-Performance Computing (HPC). The advancement in AI is not possible without HPC. HPC technologies play an increasingly important role in our everyday lives, with applications ranging from the digital economy to metaverse and web3 to ESG.

Dr. Wai Mo Suen, Founder and CEO of ClusterTech, was interviewed by RTHK, sharing his point of view on the development of Hong Kong’s technology companies in the Greater Bay Area.
