@HPCpodcast with Shahin Khan and Doug Black

SC25 showed continued strength of the HPC community with about 16,500 attendees, 560 exhibitors, and the usual fastest network, SCinet, this time with a pack bandwith of 13.7 TBytes/s. And as usual, the latest edition of the TOP500 list was released on Monday. Not a lot of changes in the TOP10 this time, but several noteworthy developments, including the first officially rated exaflop system in Europe at the Julich Supercomputer Center. Join Shahin and Doug as they analyze and discuss the new TOP500 list. They go over HPL, HPL-MxP, HPCG, Green500, geographical distribution, vendor distribution, and other observations.

If you’ve been following Dan Nystedt on social media, you are familiar with his insightful commentary and his unique perspective. Dan is vice president of research at Tri-Orient Investments, a private institutional investor that has been active in Asian markets since 2010. A former journalist, fluent in Chinese, based in Taiwan, and deeply familiar with the tech scene in one of the most vibrant technology centers in the world, Dan is a source of important market and technology signals. We caught up with him last week to discuss the Asian tech scene: geopolitical tensions and Taiwan’s role, rivalries in chip manufacturing and AI, complexities of the global tech supply chain, and China’s rare earth dominance and geopolitical impact.

We had the opportunity to catch up again with Keren Bergman to discuss the latest developments in fast moving optical technologies: co-packaged photonics/opto-eletcronics/silicon photonics, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and optical computing. We also discuss the sate of the market, the impact of AI, manufacturability, the software stack, ease of deployment, and the well-funded and promising start up, Xscape Photonics, co-founded by Professor Bergman. Professors Bergman is the Charles Batchelor Professor of Electrical Engineering, Faculty Director of the Columbia Nano Initiative, and Principal Investigator of Lightwave Research Laboratory at Columbia University. She is the recipient of the 2016 IEEE Photonics Engineering Award and is a Fellow of Optica (Optical Society of America) and IEEE. Our last conversation was in epsidoe 54 when we discussed a wide range of topics including: “Silicon Photonics vs. Fiber Optics used in telecommunications, the use of photonics c0mmunication vs. computation, what aspects of light are used to achieve  efficiencies, packet switching vs circuit switching, current advances and speeds, economic considerations and likely first uses, supply chain, fabrication, assembly, and packaging technologies for photonics.”   OrionX Editorial TeamThe OrionX editorial team manages the content on this website.
