In this episode, Rich and Dan talk Big Data Sports with Paul Bessire, a statistician and founder of PredictionMachine.com. My pal Rich Brueckner and I had a chance to interview PredictionMachine.com founder Paul Bessire as part of our Radio Free HPC podcast a few weeks ago. In the programme, Paul discusses the genesis of the…

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team discusses interconnect requirements for applications outside of the current Exascale mission profile. Henry is concerned that these hyperscale machines are getting so physically large that the latency will be a showstopper for applications that have to wait for data. The speed of light is not going to…

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team looks at the mission parameters driving Exascale development. Henry is concerned that a system designed for DOE applications will be tailored to that particular mission profile and therefore not be a performing system on NSF applications. Will the TOP 10 Exascale applications all be about High Energy…

n this episode, Rich, Henry, and Dan discuss the recent ISC’13 conference, the Student Cluster Challenge, and South Africa’s surprise win. While there was a lack of news at the conference this year (aside from Tianhe-2, covered n the previous show) the boys are definitely psyched up for SC13 in Denver and Dan’s plan to…

In this one, the Radio Free HPC team looks at the Milky Way (Tianhe-2) supercomputer from China that now owns the top slot on the TOP500 list. They kick around the hardware and explore the configuration, but then the conversation shifts to real science and recent news about Blue Waters cracking into the HIV virus.…
