Virtual SC20 Retrospective: Thinkers’ Thoughts on HPC Today and Tomorrow
November 25, 2020 by
Check out this assemblages’ reflections on last week’s virtual SC20. Their thoughts range from big-picture insights on how the event reflects the state of HPC to the keynotes, sessions and announcements they think were particularly notable (and worth going back and watching, if you missed them). Among the topics covered: The convergence of the Top500 and Green500 supercomputer lists, the emerging earmarks of machine learning HPC workloads and the validity of supercomputing predictions made at SC in 2006 over against predictions for 2035.
Where to Go and What to Do at Virtual SC20: These HPC Experts Give Guidance
