Overcoming the Limitations of Classical HPC and Quantum: A New Computational Method
July 25, 2023 by
By Ruti Ben-Shlomi, CEO and Co-founder, LightSolver There’s a lot of excitement around exascale-class supercomputing and the possibilities of quantum computing, but there’s an emerging alternative advanced computing paradigm that transcends the limits of classical HPC and is more practical than quantum computing for complex, multivariable problems. Called the laser-based processing unit (LPU), this entrant […]
@HPCpodcast: On ‘Myths and Legends of HPC’ with the RIKEN Center’s Satoshi Matsuoka and Torsten Hoefler, ETH Zurich
February 1, 2023 by
There are so many great tech ideas, but how do you assess which ones will impact HPC? How do we filter out hype? In a new, future looking paper entitled “Myths and Legends in High-Performance Computing,” Satoshi Matsuoka, Jens Domke, Mohamed Wahib, Aleksandr Drozd, and Torsten Hoefler tackle 12 important topics, from major technology areas to specific capabilities and applications in HPC systems to come. In this episode, we talk with Satoshi and Torsten (one of them in an airport) about their paper, which helps formulate the right questions and initiates important discussion points by posing the topics as myths and legends in an enjoyable and humorous paper.
Conventional Wisdom Watch: Matsuoka & Co. Take on 12 Myths of HPC
January 11, 2023 by
A group of HPC thinkers, including the estimable Satoshi Matsuoka of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan, have come together to challenge common lines of thought they say have become, to varying degrees, accepted wisdom in HPC.

Nimbix Federated: A comprehensive architecture for secure, cloud-managed, multi-site supercomputing-as-a-service
January 4, 2023 by Leave a Comment
High-performance computing (HPC) is a complex ecosystem that is increasingly being democratized by cloud and cloud-like technologies. This increased accessibility enables engineers and scientists to consume highly advanced resources without extensive IT expertise, advancing the digital transformation of the physical world. Now that industry has had a taste of on-demand supercomputing, the hunger for faster, […]
@HPCpodcast: All Things Quantum from 3 Practitioners at Brookhaven Lab (Guess Which Quantum Platforms They Use?)
December 20, 2022 by
Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Kerstin Kleese van Dam, Gabriella Carini, and Meifing Lin join Shahin and Doug to discuss all things quantum, covering quantum sensing, quantum networks and quantum computing. These women are the front lines of HPC and quantum, discussing the state of quantum capabilities today, workloads in which quantum delivers advantages over classical computing, and the challenges of quantum from an experience-based point of view.
A Year of Quantum Information Science on NERSC’s Perlmutter Supercomputer
December 8, 2022 by
Last November, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory launched its QIS@Perlmutter program to provide researchers working on quantum information science (QIS) problems with supercomputing resources, while also exploring how QIS could benefit high-performance computing (HPC). NERSC is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) computing facility that provides supercomputing and other scientific computing resources to thousands of researchers each year. Among these researchers, QIS experts from government, industry, and academia are interested in using supercomputers at NERSC and other HPC centers to advance quantum technologies and study untapped questions in quantum-driven sciences such as materials, chemistry, and physics.
