Reflections on science, technology, and computing — leavened by personal experience


The U.S. lacks a coherent strategy for developing future high-performance computing systems, ones critical for national security, economic growth, and scientific discovery.

On August 1, 2024, I will become a Presidential Professor (emeritus) at the University of Utah, though my work and research will continue.

Semiconductors have become more than just an economic engine; they are now critical to any country’s national security and global aspirations.

Cloud computing is transformational. Yet in public perception, the cloud is more like a fog, a vaguely understood and amorphous thing.

HPC and machine learning are not goals, they are enablers.

It is past time to reunite the big data, cloud and high-performance computing communities. Each can each learn much from the other.
