Hyperion Research Study Quantifies Use of HPC Economically Important AI Applications

The usage of multiple programming languages is becoming ubiquitous at HPC sites as the number of languages per site continues to rise. C/C++ and Python are particularly popular, with the majority of HPC sites using both languages at least some of the time. This data is from an annual study that is part of the eighth edition of Hyperion Research's HPC end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.

Dating back to 1986, ISC is the world's longest running and Europe's foremost HPC conference. In June 2020, ISC held ISC2020 Digital, an online event for the HPC community. This report summarizes a presentation from that digital conference: an update on the EuroEXA project given by Peter Hopton, founder and innovator behind Iceotope and the VeryPC Group, as well as the chair of both the Data Centre Strategy and Future Computing Systems committees at the British Computer Society (the Chartered Institute for IT).
