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
In January 2020 the American Diabetes Association released a new set of clinical standards that, for the first time, included the use of an FDA-approved autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) platform for detecting diabetic retinopathy in people with diabetes.
At the end of February physIQ and the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs published data from a clinical trial demonstrating the use of physIQ’s machine-learning algorithm to predict when an individual patient with previously diagnosed heart failure will likely require a readmission to hospital.
Cloud research tools provide a platform for new avenues of scientific research by providing fast access to bare-metal resources.
New processors and GPU technology continue to demand more power than the previous generations, combining this with increasingly dense architectures requires cooling solutions such as liquid or immersion cooling.
Tate Cantrell, CTO, Verne Global, comments on the cost of the AI computing revolution
European researchers are working on a new programming environment for exascale computing that aims to make using these systems more efficient and programmers more productive.
