In this video from the 2018 Swiss HPC Conference, Dave Turek from IBM presents: The Transformation of HPC: Simulation and Cognitive Methods in the Era of Big Data.
“There is a shift underway where HPC is beginning to be addressed with novel techniques and technologies including cognitive and analytic approaches to HPC problems and the arrival of the first quantum systems. This talk will showcase how IBM is merging cognitive, analytics, and quantum with classic simulation and modeling to create a new path for computational science.”
Dave Turek is VP of HPC & OpenPOWER at IBM Systems. Dave is currently the Vice President of HPC and OpenPower at IBM with responsibility for IBM’s overall high performance computing strategy.
