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
Things are hotting up in the world of weather and climate forecasting thanks to today’s highly ambitious projects
Drug discovery is a complex process that requires increasing resources and time to generate new molecules. As the processes have matured there is an increasing reliance on computational methods to accelerate the discovery process.
Patients across the UK will benefit from better healthcare, treatments and faster diagnosis as the government sets out plans to deliver genomic healthcare
One of the most obvious, and immediate challenges when bringing new software into a lab environment is the likely ‘spaghetti soup’ of existing platforms – possibly from multiple vendors – that are already installed, suggests Richard Milne
