What is HPC?
-
Skim the article “Scalability! But at what COST?”, which is freely available.
-
Skim the article “There’s plenty of room at the Top: What will drive computer performance after Moore’s law?”, if you can get access to it. If not, consider taking a moment to reflect on the contribution of scientific “publishing” to science and society.
-
Alternatively, skim the performance tables in the slides “Performance Engineering of Software Systems, Lecture 1” by Charles E. Leiserson.
