The supercomputing industry is as insatiable as it is dreamy. We have not even reached our ambitions of hitting the exascale level of performance in a single system by the end of this decade, and we are stretching our vision out to the far future and wondering how the capacity of our largest machines will scale by many orders of magnitude more. …
We don’t have a Moore’s Law problem so much as we have a materials science or alchemy problem. …
With the end of physical nuclear testing came an explosion in computing technology at massive scale to simulate in rich detail and high resolution the many scenarios and factors that influence a hefty nuclear weapons stockpile. …
There is a gentle touch of hypocrisy about the supercomputing world. …
When one thinks about the largest supercomputing sites on the planet and the approach to examining future technologies for next-generation systems, it might seem logical to guess they are at the bleeding edge of exploring entirely new, under-the-radar architectures and approaches that could spike the curve of Moore’s Law. …
CERN is set to go dark for a brief period in the 2018 timeframe to allow for a new sweep of technology upgrades, including the build-out of new datacenters, some of which might leverage non-standard architectures, including ARM processors. …
Just as modeling and simulation tools are being used to design and test prototypes of everything from rocket engines to safer tools, so too are they being used in novel ways to model technologies that rest on the edge of commercial reality. …
