HPC has long been recognized as indispensable for advancing scientific research, providing more timely and accurate weather forecasting, building better products, and enabling broader adoption of technical computing for AI-driven training and inference. At the same time, HPC has also been recognized as being extremely complex to set up, operate, and maintain. According to recent Hyperion Research studies, over half of the overall HPC market identified the lack of staffing and ease-of-use related issues as barriers for them to acquire additional HPC-based solutions. NVIDIA, a leading HPC hardware component supplier, has announced that it is addressing this issue by acquiring Bright Computing, a leader in software for managing high-performance computing systems used by more than 700 organizations worldwide.

IBM’s Q System One: One More Piece of the Larger Puzzle
Bob Sorensen
IBM's recent announcement of their new Q System One universal quantum computer is yet another milestone in the firm's long-term commitment to transitioning quantum computing (QC) hardware from one-off research status into a capable commercial offering. Although the new Q System One, as announced, does not demonstrate any significant advances in current quantum computing capability, as measured by the number of qubits per system, it does show that IBM can design and manufacture a system that, at the right price, could be attractive to a wide range of users looking to integrate quantum computing into their overall R&D process.
