ISC 2024's Wednesday Keynote: Two Trends Transforming HPC
insideHPC, Friday, May 3rd, 2024
Wednesday night's keynote session at the ISC 2024 Conference in Hamburg takes on the future of HPC with deep dives into two themes: the rise of specialized architectures and new application workflow capabilities that reduce the terrors of workload implementation.
While we all know that if there's one thing people can't predict it's the future, the two futristic themes may turn out to be true because both are already in progress.
Moderated by well-known HPC community veteran Horst Simon (formerly CRO at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, now director of ADIA Lab in the United Arab Emirates), the workflow topic will be discussed by Rosa Badia, manager of the Workflows and Distributed Computing Research Group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. The specialized architecture topic will be handled by John Shalf, CTO for the National Energy Research Supercomputing Center and department head for Computer Science and Data Sciences at Berkeley Lab (and last year's ISC 2023 program chair)
