Supercomputers Will Require Unlearning
Posted in Computer Industry, Science
I have written before the amazing and growing power of supercomputers (here and here), but this article makes a compelling case that supercomputer simulation will soon become the “third branch of science” and that the growing power of these beasts will rival the invention of the microscope in its impact on science. It will be interesting to see if more established members of the scientific community can unlearn their old habits and embrace the technology.
