Over the last two decades, large HPC machine efforts have become a procurement exercise. A large set of applications have been unable to leverage the additional computational power of newly-procured machines without significant additional software development. The machine architectures need to evolve: new systems architectures and innovations require a deep understanding of application uses cases and their needs. Memory and storage, as foundational elements, will be at the center of future innovative systems, driving both greater performance and increased energy efficiency.
