These are revelations from inside the strange world of supercomputing centers. Nobody is pretending these are real stories. They couldn’t possibly be. Could they?
On one of my many long haul airplane plane journeys this year, I caught myself thinking about the strange things that go on inside supercomputer centers - and other parts of the HPC world. I thought it might be fun to poke at and mock such activities while trying to make some serious points.
Since the flight was a long one, I started writing ... and so "Secrets of the Supercomputers" was born.
You can find Episode 1 at HPC Wire today, touching on the topic of HPC procurement.
No offense to anyone intended. Gentle mocking maybe. Serious lessons definitely.
Take a look here for some serious comments on HPC procurement at the NAG blog.
