processing of large language models, in addition to enabling user devices to be used directly in the inference or learning process. Scalability in this context needs to consider both cloud resources, data distribution and initial processing on edge resources closer to the user.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div style=\"padding-left: 40px\">This talk investigates how a data analytics and machine learning pipeline can be deployed across the Edge-Cloud continuum. Understanding what should be executed at a data centre and what can be moved to an edge resource remains an important challenge &#8212; especially with increasing capability of our edge devices and availability of edge accelerators. Two aspects are considered<\/div><div style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(i) partitioning strategies for machine learning algorithms across edge-cloud resources based on constraints such as privacy, capacity and device resilience\/availability<\/div><div style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(ii) mechanisms to \u201cadapt\u201d machine learning algorithms based on the characteristics of devices on which they are hosted \u2014 especially with the availability of edge accelerators through the use of FPGAs and other programmable hardware.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Bio: Professor of Performance Engineering and the Dean of International for the Physical Sciences and Engineering College at Cardiff University.

Together, they have reshaped the computational landscape, enabling data and computation to seamlessly flow across enterprise systems, cloud platforms, edge infrastructure, and endpoint devices.<\/p><p>In this new era, data has become the new oil\u2014a critical, high-value asset that is increasingly sensitive and in need of protection. While encryption of data at rest and in transit has become standard, a new frontier in security has emerged: confidential computing. This paradigm leverages hardware-based memory encryption and isolated execution environments (enclaves) to ensure both the confidentiality and integrity of applications, even in the presence of a potentially compromised system.<\/p><p>Confidential computing has already shown that many existing applications can run within these secure enclaves with minimal or no modification. As agentic systems\u2014autonomous agents that span the full platform spectrum\u2014gain traction, they will increasingly consume and process sensitive data without direct user oversight. This raises important concerns about the privacy of both models and user interactions, particularly in the context of large language models (LLMs) and other AI-driven services.<\/p><p>To address these concerns, we argue that confidential computing should serve as the foundation for agentic systems, providing the necessary trust guarantees. Furthermore, with the rise of AI workloads, AI accelerators must now become enclave-aware and enclave-compatible, ensuring that hardware acceleration does not compromise security guarantees.<\/p><p>In this talk, we explore the readiness of real-world applications for deployment on modern confidential AI platforms. We evaluate the performance overheads introduced by enclave execution, the compatibility challenges faced by AI frameworks and accelerators, and the overall feasibility of securing the next generation of intelligent, autonomous systems.<\/p><p>As organizations look to build secure, intelligent, and scalable systems, confidential computing offers a critical pathway to trust and compliance in a data-centric AI world.<\/p><p>Bio: Dr. Franke is a Distinguished Research Scientist at the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY since 1993.
