Modular Supercomputing Moves Forward in Europe

In this video from ISC 2019, Thomas Lippert from the Jülich Supercomputing Centre describes how modular supercomputing is paving the way forward for HPC in Europe. “The Modular Supercomputer Architecture (MSA) is an innovative approach to build High-Performance Computing (HPC) and High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) systems by coupling various compute modules, following a building-block principle. Each module is tailored to the needs of a specific group of applications, and all modules together behave as a single machine.”
