Online since December 2006, insideHPC is the web’s source for short-form reporting of “HPC news to supercomputing professionals.” But insideHPC doesn’t publish just any news — our writers and editors are HPC professionals who have spent their careers developing applications in the supercomputing community, architecting HPC systems, and running some of the largest supercomputing centers in the world. We don’t just write about HPC, we do HPC. And we bring that experience to our reporting each day, filtering out the noise from the daily stream of news in the HPC ecosystem to find the signal that matters most to our readers.
Over 60% of our readers check the site at least daily, and 75% of them rate insideHPC as their first source for HPC news, more than any other HPC publication. And insideHPC news has a tremendous viral component: 92% of our readers have passed along news they find at the site to colleagues, and 75% of our readers pass along news at least once a month.
