The SC10 conference is starting up next week, and over at the AMD blog they take a look at the current trends in HPC and discuss the current hot topic in HPC: The ExaScale. In particular, I like their acknowledgement that while GPU’s are great, they might not be the right solution going forward.
As we continue to march towards the next barrier, the exaflop, it is clear to everyone that we will get there. Possibly even sooner, rather than later. We don’t necessarily know what the systems will look like, but it’s a high probability that CPUs and GPUs will both play a big part in the solution.
