Hi, I'm looking to get a couple of opinions ideally from @wendell and @Logan regarding where you see Super Computing going.
Currently Tianhe-2 and Titan top the list (TOP500) for most powerful supercomputers. First off, ideally, what problem would you like to see supercomputers tackle?
And finally, do you think it's possible in the foreseeable future for a global 'not-for-profit' organisation to build a supercomputer, that is to say, rather than China and North America fighting for the coveted spot in the TOP500, a community of experts in multiple fields from multiple countries get together and build a gargantuan supercomputer for the mere pursuit of knowledge, without any p***ing contests?
Thanks! You guys are awesome, all of you @Pistol, Qain, @wendell, @Logan, et al. I've recently watched all numbered 'The Tek' episodes, backwards, twice!!! (Been listening to them at work, watching them at home, always enjoying!).
