High Performance Computing (HPC) has always gone through cycles, once dedicated hardware was designed and used to develop machines specific for HPC, now HPC is a small fraction of the computing market leveraging other commercial uses. First, desktop computing, then gaming and graphic processing and now AI drives the market and HPC needs to just keep up. Every change has brought new programming models required to get the best performance. In this talk I hope to help shine a light on where things are going in HPC and what needs to be done to be ready.
Speaker
Matthew Bettencourt – NVIDIA
Since receiving my PhD at Berkeley, I’ve worked on many different types of physical problems and scales from plasma to weather, angstroms to kilometers, femtoseconds to years, all with the goal of higher accuracy in less time to drive insight into the physics of interest. This has led me to NVIDIA, where I am a Developer Technologist, located in Bologna Italy. This allows me to continue my passion to compute at the speed of light.
