Why The UK Should Have Its Own Exascale AI/HPC Machine, And How
We were away on vacation at a lakeside beach in northern Michigan when we caught the news that the UK government was pulling the plug on a plan for an exascale supercomputer to be installed at the EPCC at the University of Edinburgh. …

To Exascale And (Maybe) Beyond!
The difference between “high performance computing” in the general way that many thousands of organizations run traditional simulation and modeling applications and the kind of exascale computing that is only now becoming a little more commonplace is like the difference between a single, two door coupe that goes 65 miles per hour (most of the time) and a fleet of bullet trains that can each hold over 1,300 people and move at more than 300 miles per hour, connecting a country or a continent. …
