TITLE:		How to Personalize a Supercomputer?  Configurable and
 		 Adaptable Framework, leveraging Moore's Law for Real
 		 Applications


SPEAKER:	Sadasivan Shankar  (Harvard)


ABSTRACT:

A supercomputer is defined as a computer with a high level of performance for 
scientific and engineering applications compared to a general-purpose computer. 
Since the 1960s, supercomputers have played roles in using computing to the 
frontiers of real applications in weather forecasting; climate research; oil 
and gas exploration; molecular, materials, and biological modeling for 
computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological 
macromolecules, polymers, and crystals; and physical simulations of airplane 
and spacecraft aerodynamics, the detonation of nuclear weapons, and nuclear 
fission and fusion.

In this talk, we describe a new framework, with which we will be able to 
accelerate the designing a “computer� for every application at scale. This 
will help in dispersing the benefits of computing to wider humanity rather than 
to niche scientific communities with dedicated mainframes. In this vein, we 
will also briefly discuss a new hands-on class that we have developed in which 
students are taught about using extreme high-end computing to address real 
applications.
