Measuring and Assessing the Value and Scientific ROI of NERSC’s Leadership Computing in Advancing Science

According to a recent survey of over 200 HPC sites worldwide, the on-premises and cloud HPC markets are expected to grow over the next five years, although at slightly lower rates than previously anticipated earlier in 2022. Future cloud budgets for HPC workloads are expected to grow at a faster rate than the on-premises market for industry and academic user sites, while government sites are anticipating higher on-premises budget growth.

Dating back to 1986, ISC is the world’s oldest and Europe’s foremost HPC conference. In June 2020, ISC held ISC2020 Digital, an online event for the HPC community. This update summarizes a presentation from that digital conference entitled, Running a Pre-Exascale, Geographically Distributed, Multi-Cloud Scientific Simulation, given by Igor Sfiligoi, Lead Scientific Software Developer and Research at University of California San Diego Supercomputer Center.
