The Next Reign of Cloud Kings Will Not Rule with “Iron” Fists
At the dawn of the cloud computing revolution, the winners were determined in their ability to rule with an “iron” fist (the hardware) but over the next ten years, we will see that having an iron-fist basis for rule is far easier than ruling with nuanced, multi-layered intelligence–and it takes a special kind of leader to do that. …

For Next Generation Supercomputers, What’s Old is New Again
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. …
