How Supercomputers Finally Learned to Manage Their Own Memories
Supercomputers, capable of performing a quintillion calculations per second, represent the cutting edge of modern science. Yet, despite this staggering power, their work is often hamstrung by a single, critical bottleneck: getting the right data to the right place at the right time. For applications running on government systems like the Frontier supercomputer, the speed of memory access is no longer a secondary concern; it is the main barrier to faster scientific breakthroughs.
