March 4, 2025 | High performance computing at a crossroads
As high performance computing stands at a pivotal moment, this piece brings together insights from leading experts to examine the critical challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the field. With growing demands for precision and scalability, the need for a long-term vision for HPC in the US has never been more pressing.
Prof. Amanda Randles collaborated with a fantastic team of leading HPC researchers—Ewa Deelman, Jack Dongarra, Bruce Hendrickson, Daniel Reed, Edward Seidel, and Katherine Yelick—to examine the challenges and future directions of high-performance computing. The policy forum article, High-Performance Computing at a Crossroads, explores the growing demand for computational precision, emerging bottlenecks in scalability and efficiency, and the urgent need for a long-term vision for HPC in the US.
Now published in Science, the article discusses global investments in HPC infrastructure and the implications for research, innovation, and national security. Read it here: https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.adu0801.
