We have a full house with Adrian Cockcroft, Stephen Perrenod, Chris Kruell, and Shahin Khan with a “postview” of the SC24 conference, the latest CryptoSuper500 list, a snapshot of quantum computing, and the RISC-V Summit. They also discuss Bitcoin, AI vs. HPC, HPC in the cloud, liquid cooling, InfraTech, Interconnects, Optical Computing, OpenMP, PCIe, CXL, GPUs, CPUs, and energy efficiency and ESG.

The “big idea” in this episode is SimOps, an important shift in the industry. Three of the so-called “magnificent seven” (most valuable companies in the world) are already practitioners of SimOps and have helped shape the products that support it.

Peter Ungaro, one of the most celebrated captains of the supercomputing and AI industry, formerly the CEO of Cray, SVP and General Manager of HPC, AI, Mission Critical Systems, Edge, and HP Labs at HPE,  and a board member of Simr, and Burak Yenier, CEO & Co-Founder of Simr, join Shahin Khan to discuss this emerging trend.

Just as DevOps helps traditional software development/deployment become more automated, productive, scalable, and much else,  SimOps does the same for the digital workflow and dataflow associated with product engineering and scientific discovery.  Whether you are designing golf clubs or smart goggles, a bridge, cars, planes, medical devices, or medicines simulation is the norm and defines the whole process.  It will become even more important with the advent of Digital twins, which need to be realistic, which means they need to be built with more math, physics, chemistry, etc.

Bitcoin ETF and Bitcoin halving have fueled renewed excitement in the cryptocurrency world and it is time to catch up with the state of the market again. Dr. Stephen Perrenod joins Shahin Khan to go over the latest hot topics: Wall Street entering the Bitcoin market with about a dozen Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), the upcoming halving of newly minted Bitcoins, and the state of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC).

Why is technopolitics a good lens? Technology has always had a big impact on geopolitics and global competitiveness. What’s special now?

A major topic that we’ve wanted to cover for a few years is technopolitics. The impact of technology on national competitiveness, and therefore on policy and supply chain, is growing. We see that in the global gold-rush frenzy towards advanced technologies: exascale supercomputers, quantum computing, AI, space tech, biotech, robotics,  and so on. The first question is: what’s different now? Over the course of history, technology has always had a big impact on geopolitics, on human condition, on global competitiveness. So what’s special now? Join us!

Adrian Cockcroft, Stephen Perrenod, and Shahin Khan get together in a free-flowing coffee-shop style discussion of future system architecture in supercomputing. The motivation for this episode started during the SC22 conference, where several advances seemed to point to significant changes in system design and optimization. This led to Adrian’s article “SC22: CXL3.0, the Future of HPC Interconnects and Frontier vs. Fugaku” and a deeper dive in his paper: “Supercomputing Predictions: Custom CPUs, CXL3.0, and Petalith Architectures”. Similar threads were discussed over at the @HPCpodcast. At the same time, the well-received and well-discussed paper “Myths and Legends in High-Performance Computing” by Satoshi Matsuoka, Jens Domke, Mohamed Wahib, Aleksandr Drozd, and Torsten Hoefler, instigated a valuable discussion of 12 topics, from major technology areas to specific capabilities in future HPC systems, to application performance. All of that is discussed here flavored with some historical accounts.
