We've all heard that a single smartphone has more computing power than all the computers that NASA needed to land on the moon in 1969.
Despite the exponential growth in computing power over the past half-century, many of today's data challenges are too complex for a single computer to handle efficiently.
Enter high-performance computing (HPC).
HPC technologies allow the workload of a single computational task-like making sense of a decade's worth of satellite climate data or creating complex aerodynamic simulations-to be shared across multiple computing devices working as one.
Georgia Tech HPC experts are meeting with their global counterparts this week at the International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, widely known as Supercomputing (SC).
SC24 convened yesterday at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. The annual event brings together scientists, engineers, researchers, and leaders from academia and industry to:
