DOE Announces 2024 ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge, Pre-proposals Due Nov. 13
October 16, 2023 by
Oct. 16, 2023 — The ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) is an allocation program for projects of interest to the Department of Energy (DOE), with an emphasis on high-risk, high-payoff scientific campaigns enabled via high-performance computing (HPC) in areas directly related to the DOE mission, that respond to national emergencies, or that broaden the community […]
@HPCpodcast: A Look Back at ISC 2023 with a Look Ahead to the Uncertain Future of Leadership-Class Supercomputing
June 5, 2023 by
In this Lenovo-sponsored episode of the @HPCpodcast, Shahin and Doug discuss the recent annual ISC 2023 HPC confab in Hamburg, a conference that this year showed growth in attendees and number of exhibitors, if not a return to pre-pandemic totals. Among the topics we cover: quantum computing, more discussion of the TOP500 ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, the rapid growth of HPC in Europe, and whether we live in times when “everyone” is a systems vendor (think NVIDIA and Microsoft). We also delve into an ISC keynote delivered by the University of Utah’s (and the National Science Board’s) Dan Reed, one of the most influential HPC thinkers and planners, on the uncertainties afflicting the next generation of leadership-class supercomputers.

insideHPC-Hyperion Research Interview: ITIF’s Ezell Says Global HPC-AI Leadership Is ‘Up for Grabs’
April 6, 2023 by
As we enter supercomputing’s exascale era, global HPC leadership is “up for grabs,” according to the ITIF’s Stephen Ezell, and in several ways the U.S. has relinquished leadership in the development of “feeder streams” that will supply the country’s supercomputing industry in future decades. To address this, Ezell outlines several recommended policies and initiatives the U.S. should take in the face of increasing global HPC competition.
Dell: Threats and Opportunities for U.S. HPC Leadership
March 28, 2023 by
[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE] Driving the development and leveraging the use of supercomputing technologies and systems is a critical strategic advantage for geopolitical players. The U.S. Council on Competitiveness, which champions entrepreneurship and commercialization of innovative ideas, coined the phrase “To Out-compute is to Out-compete” for describing the place of supercomputing as a centerpiece of competitive strategies across science, business and national defense. In fact, the U.S., having been at the forefront of supercomputing for more than 50 years, is under increasing international pressure as more countries and regions increase their investments in HPC and associated areas, including AI, applications development and optimization, and workforce development and retention.
@HPCpodcast: Ukraine’s Frontline Software Soldiers; the UK’s Exascale Strategy; House Hearing on Global Tech Leadership; Intel’s Revised Roadmap
March 22, 2023 by
Soon after the one-year observance (Feb. 24) of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal ran an article by Shyam Sankar, CTO at big data and machine learning company Palantir, on the vital role of Ukrainian software engineers cum front line soldiers in the country’s war effort. It’s a remarkable story of technology entrepreneurship brought to the battlefield, one that helps explain how Ukraine, a country with less than 25 percent the population of Russia, has successfully pushed the invaders back from their early territorial gains. Sankar’s article compelled Shahin and Doug to reflect on the new type of war Ukraine is waging….
Aurora Update from Argonne, and a Look at Leadership Supercomputing on the Horizon
November 11, 2022 by
These are heady days at Argonne National Laboratory — more particularly, at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, which we visited earlier this week. To accommodate the ALCF’s new exascale system, Aurora, now undergoing installation, the ALCF built more than a computer room, it added a computer wing — a computer building — to the facility. As system footprints go, Aurora is impressive. We talked with ALCF leaders Rick Stevens and Mike Papka….
