High-Performance Computing

Robert Roe investigates how accelerators are driving the design of new architectures in HPC to solve the challenges of exascale computing

Software approaches to energy efficiency in HPC may yield unexpected improvements in the hardware of next-generation mobile phone networks, Tom Wilkie discovers

Tom Wilkie admires the ingenuity of the engineers who are devising so many ways to keep supercomputers cool

Adrian Giordani asks what benchmarks should be applied as the nature of supercomputing changes on the way to exascale

From the PRACEdays15 conference in Dublin, Tom Wilkie and Robert Roe report on the inadequacies of Open Source and commercial software, support for Irish industry, and HPC policies in Europe and Japan

Even a nation as advanced as the USA can field only two consortia capable of getting to exascale.Robert Roe reports

Today the US National Consortium for Data Science is an active and growing organisation. Stan Ahalt discusses how and why it came into being

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