UTK ISE

#Turing Award winner Jack Dongarra mapped the 50-year trajectory of #supercomputing — from early Cray vectors to today's 1.8 ExaFLOPs "El Capitan" at Lawrence Livermore. He argued that High-Performance Computing (#HPC) has evolved into the "third pillar" of #science, supplementing theory and experimentation. Prof. Dongarra highlighted a critical transition: how the deductive world of physics-based modeling is seamlessly augmented by the inductive power of generative #AI, transforming how we solve grand challenges in climate, energy, and medicine.
