In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team looks at a recent update on the Exascale Computing Project by Paul Messina.
“The Exascale Computing Project (ECP) was established with the goals of maximizing the benefits of HPC for the United States and accelerating the development of a capable exascale computing ecosystem. The ECP is a collaborative effort of two U.S. Department of Energy organizations – the Office of Science (DOE-SC) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).”
Recent milestones include:
- PathForward will soon announce six awards to vendors to develop new technologies that will be instrumental in Exascale system development.
- The ECP Industry Council met for the first time recently with C-Level executives from industry to lay our application requirements for exascale systems. The end goal is to improve industrial competitiveness in the United States.
After that, we do our Catch of the Week:
- Shahin is impressed by the new Wolfram Data Depository, a public resource that hosts an expanding collection of computable datasets, curated and structured to be suitable for immediate use in computation, visualization, analysis and more. Building on the Wolfram Data Framework and the Wolfram Language, the Wolfram Data Repository provides a uniform system for storing data and making it immediately computable and useful. With datasets of many types and from many sources, the Wolfram Data Repository is built to be a global resource for public data and data-backed publication.
- Henry informs us to always tug on the front panel of your ATM before using. “Once you understand how easy and common it is for thieves to attach “skimming” devices to ATMs and other machines that accept debit and credit cards, it’s difficult not to closely inspect and even tug on the machines before using them.”
