The importance of the pharmaceutical industry in the modern-day Asian society cannot be over stressed especially as there are new diseases springing up from different areas, strengthening the importance of adequate drug research and development activities. However, with the growth of the industry in Asia comes the increase in fake drugs. In recent times, these products are still being produced and passed down to consumers in large quantities amidst the impact of the various counterfeiting hubs that have been seen to operate on a global scale. According to World Health Organization (WHO), about ten to thirty percent of the pharmaceuticals distributed to most third world countries are fake and this industry is growing at an alarming rate, even faster than legitimate pharmaceutical companies raking in about $217 billion yearly in sales.

Supercomputing Frontiers is an annual international conference that provides a platform for thought leaders from both academia and industry to interact and discuss visionary ideas, important visionary trends and substantial innovations in supercomputing. The first three editions of the conference were organised in Singapore by A*STAR Computational Resource Centre and National Supercomputing Centre Singapore, the fourth — by Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computer Modeling (ICM), University of Warsaw, Poland. Previous editions of the conference showcased a successful scientific programme with eminent plenary keynote speakers such as Thomas Sterling, Satoshi Matsuoka, Robert Harrison, Rick Stevens, Jack Dongarra, Alan Gara, John Gustafson, Srinivas Aluru, Baroness Susan Greenfield, Horst Simon, Bronis R. De Supinski, Gordon Bell, Alessandro Curioni, Thom H. Dunning Jr. and Haohuan Fu. Selected papers from the conference were published in the international journal Supercomputing Frontiers & Innovations in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Processing news data and social media data and classifying (market) sentiment and how it impacts Financial Markets is a growing area of research. The field has recently progressed further with many new “alternative” data sources, such as email receipts, credit/debit card transactions, weather, geo-location, satellite data, Twitter, Micro-blogs and search engine results. AI & ML are gaining adoption in the financial services industry especially in the context of compliance, investment decisions and risk management. This is a sophisticated conference that not only interrogates and explores the implications of AI & ML in the financial services industry but also goes on to identify the investment opportunities of sharing knowledge and exploiting IP in the finance domain.

General-purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) potentially offer exceptionally high memory bandwidth and performance for a wide range of applications. The challenge in utilizing such accelerators has been the difficulty in programming them. Today, these devices can be programmed with various available extensions to C++ and Fortran programming languages, like CUDA, OpenACC or OpenMP. There is also a wide range of numerical libraries which can make use of GPU acceleration.
