High-Performance Computing

Metadata is key to mastering the volumes of data in science and engineering, argues Bob Murphy, and tools are available to make it easier

As the Large Hadron Collider restarts at Cern, data storage has become as important to scientists as compute power. But, as Tom Wilkie reports, the innovative technologies being developed have much wider applications

In the second article in his series on future hardware for HPC, Robert Roe looks at alternatives to the x86, including server on a chip and OpenPower

In the first article in a series on future hardware for HPC, Robert Roe explains how OpenCL may make FPGAs an attractive option

At the intersection of big data, the cloud, and HPC, remote visualisation is anything but a remote prospect, as Tom Wilkie discovers

Global investment in high-performance computing is being ramped up in the headlong march towards Exascale, writes Robert Roe

The implications of the recent announcements about Exascale technology go far beyond HPC. Tom Wilkie considers the implications

End-user scientists and engineers fear the complexity of running jobs in HPC. But there are software tool-kits available to help, as Tom Wilkie discovers
