论坛主题：Intel now has 406 of the top 500 systems as of the June 2010 list including one of the three Petaflops machines . To reach this level Intel has consistently used their process technology to produce a sequence of efficient high performance processors. Cloud Computing is an emerging usage model for certain applications. This talk will look at the issues in using cloud computing for HPC applications, including security, data transport, and the fabric infrastructure needed for most HPC application. If the top500 continues to grow at the historic rate, then Exascale computes should emerge in 2018. This talk will conclude with a discussion of the issues that will have to be solved to reach that goal.

报告人简介：Dr. David Scott is one of the technical resources in the HPC Worldwide Business Operations team for Intel Corporation, based in Hillsboro Oregon. He is responsible for helping to close large accounts worldwide. He works with end-users on future technology feeding information back to the Intel planning team. He works with OEMs to define products that work for HPC users and to formulate responses to RFPs that meet or exceed all requirements.

Dr. Scott joined Intel in 1985, developing algorithms and math libraries for a sequence of distributed memory message passing computers, culminating in the first teraflop on the Linpack benchmark in 1996. He worked for five years in the Floating Point Center of Expertise, helping to improve floating-point design and validation for all of Intel’s 32 and 64-bit processor projects. He spent three years in Singapore supporting High Performance Computing in the Asia-Pacific region, before returning to Oregon to take his current position in July 2006.

David received his PhD in Numerical Analysis from UC Berkeley in 1978. He was a research scientist at the Oak Ridge National Lab for 3 years and taught in the Computer Sciences department of the University of Texas for four years before joining Intel. While working for Intel, he received his MBA from the University of Oregon in 1990.
