Title: Supercomputing at the Crossroads
Abstract: The nature of supercomputing has evolved over time driven by changes originally in general-purpose computational architectures, and now more and more by constraints such as the power wall and priorities determined by large-scale AI applications and not by conventional high-performance computing imperatives. At the same time, the use cases for supercomputing are also becoming more diverse including nontraditional applications in data-intensive computing and at the confluence of high-performance computing and a broad portfolio of rapidly impactful AI-driven workflows. In this talk, I will discuss possible near-future consequences for computing facilities aiming to achieve new classes of scientific breakthroughs enabled by next-generation supercomputing.
