Over the past 40 years of change, two things have remained constant, Tom Wilkie discovers: the role of mathematics and the need for highly educated and talented people
Argonne has pioneered a course to equip researchers with the skills they need for computational science and engineering (CS&E). Its organiser, Paul Messina, calls on more institutions to offer such training
HPC need people even more than it needs technology. John Bashor reviews one initiative to attract new people into HPC, the Student Cluster Competition
Doug Miles, director of PGI Compilers & Tools, considers the challenges compilers will face in the new world of high-performance computing
Sam Mahalingam, chief technical officer, HPC/Cloud Solutions, at Altair, looks forward to a culture in which innovation flourishes as a result of human ingenuity and the creative application of technology
Although advances in HPC have been stellar there is even more still to come, says Mark Seager, chief technology officer, technical computing ecosystem, at Intel
Giampietro Tecchiolli, CTO of Eurotech, expects the techniques of high-performance computing to become more pervasive but worries about shortage of skilled manpower
Scot Schultz,director of HPC and Technical Computing at Mellanox Technologies, believes that interconnects are critical to the demands of big data today and that they will play a still larger role in the next generation of high-performance computers
Although the past decade has seen a huge growth in high-performance computing, Tom Wilkie believes there is a lot more still to come
Mathematics underpins every technical disciplines logical advance and mathematics education is vital to the future, according to Jim Cooper, president and CEO of Maplesoft
Elsevier and ExactCure recently announced a collaboration to develop and offer to hospitals – without charge – drug-specific exposure models for 20 already approved medicines that are being tested as potential treatments for Covid-19.
With the world’s focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, LIMS providers are working to develop solutions tailored to assist in the testing and management of virus samples.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School (HMS) have released an open source drug discovery platform, VirtualFlow, that harnesses supercomputing power to screen potentially billions of small organic compound structures in parallel, in the hunt for promising new drug molecules.
When designing a component or system, where do you start? In days gone by, designers would literally go back to the drawing board, using their experience and expertise to develop a new concept.
Effective utilisation of computing tools is critical to both AI and HPC research, with recent projects in both fields highlighting the scientific benefit of carefully managing resources.
Advances in computer vision combined with AI computing are helping pathologists to more accurately identify subtypes of cancer - leading to better treatments for patients, explains Dan Ruderman.
