High Performance Computing

The usage of cloud-based virtual desktops will help remote employees work from anywhere, collaborate with their co-workers, and protect company data in one fell swoop.

Supercomputing and academic resources to accelerate research into the virus shift gears as vaccines to fight the pandemic might be nearing production.

Growth of the cumulative computing power of Top500 systems is slowing down, pushing Moore’s Law closer to obsolescence.

Once the stuff of speculation, the growth of quantum software development may share some similarities with the rise of MLOps and AIOps.

Other Nvidia announcements at SC19 include a GPU-accelerated Arm server design and software that makes GPU clusters faster.

Last month, quantum computing achieved a controversial milestone, but it's unclear whether Google's quantum supremacy is a meaningful milestone in the quest to build a useful quantum computer.

In theory, quantum computers could one day lead to substantial advances in materials science, AI, medicine, finance, communications and more. In all likelihood, no one has thought up the best uses for them yet.
