The need for high-powered computing isn’t going away. Enterprises trying to corral the massive amounts of data they’re generating and adopting emerging technologies like machine learning are demanding the sort of HPC capabilities that not too long ago were reserved for research and educational institutions. …
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been investing heavily in quantum computing across the board. …
There is no question in our minds here at The Next Platform that quantum computing, in some fashion, will be part of the workflow for solving some of the peskiest computational problems the world can think of. …
Four years ago, Google engineers boasted of achieving “quantum supremacy” following experiments that showed its 53-qubit Sycamore quantum system solving problems that classical supercomputers either can’t or take a very long time to accomplish. …
Not all important supercomputers are on the twice-a-year Top500 rankings of machines. …
In the United States, the first step on the road to exascale HPC systems began with a series of workshops in 2007. …
If quantum computers are going to become a commercial thing sometime down the road – and there’s a lot of money and time going into the effort to make them viable for use by HPC organizations and enterprises – it’s increasingly likely that it will be in combination with classical computers. …
It’s rare in supercomputing to discover a paper that’s both insightful and amusing, but a distributed team led by Dr. …
Predicting the future is hard, even with supercomputers. And maybe specifically when you are talking about predicting the future of supercomputers. …
