“Sure, there’s still the bleeding edge of HPC — my Grandma isn’t using a petascale computer (yet). All the national labs and advanced researchers are still hanging out at the high-end of HPC, pushing the state of the art to get faster and bigger results that simply weren’t possible before. Vendors now make black-box solutions that hide the parallelism and complexity from the user. Users now press a button, a miracle occurs, and the results pop out. Users can now run larger jobs than they ever could before. And these results take far less time to compute.
