Scientific computing must adapt by integrating AI and prioritizing energy efficiency
By
Dennis Gannon
Summary
The article discusses the shifting landscape of advanced computing, where traditional scientific and engineering high-performance computing (HPC) is being overtaken by hyperscale cloud providers and AI workloads. It argues that scientific computing must evolve to integrate AI with traditional simulation methods while prioritizing energy-efficient approaches. The piece highlights the need for the HPC community to adapt to this new reality where hyperscalers dominate computing resources and influence.
