Reinventing High Performance Computing: Challenges and Opportunities. March 8, 2022.

Roadmap, bandwidth density is going to be 2x every gen.

Will require deep understanding of applied maths and underlying algs to be performant in new era.

Google plays with (digital ?) quantum annuealer, but degrees of freedom is smaller than could be achieved with the specialised optimization (izing machine ?).

Quantum computers and HPC roadmap is not in our career lifes, it is still as sci-fi for now.

Data movement would dominate energy consumption. ~25% of planetary energy consumption would be for data centers in 2040.
