Suzanne Kelly
Sandia National Lab
Sandia National Laboratories has a long history of successfully applying high performance computing (HPC) technology to solve scientific problems. We drew upon our experiences with numerous architectural and design features when planning our most recent computer systems. This talk will present the key issues that were considered. Important principles are performance balance between the hardware components and scalability of the system software. The talk will conclude with lessons learned from the system deployments.
