Matt Walters is the founder and publisher of Supercomputing News. He also runs OmniScale Media, the marketing agency he co-founded in 2017 to serve AI, HPC, quantum, and deep tech companies.
He's spent 15+ years in this world. Seven of them at Tabor Communications as VP of Digital Strategy, where he grew audience and sponsorships for HPCwire and helped launch Datanami (now BigDATAwire) and EnterpriseTech (now AIwire). Along the way he's built hundreds of campaigns for tech companies of all sizes - from early-stage startups to NVIDIA, Intel, IBM, HPE, and others... including NVIDIA's early push to sell GPUs for AI, back when that was still a bet.
A builder at heart, he spent 15 years in the construction trades before any of it.

The FP64 Debate Didn't Produce a Winner. It Produced a Joint Byline.
Dongarra, Hoefler, and Matsuoka now ask whether supercomputing needs GPUs at all, and the CPU-only machine atop the Top500 is their test vehicle.
When Agents Are the Readers: The Toll Layer for Machine-Consumed Knowledge Is Being Built at the Edge
Cloudflare's new Monetization Gateway will let sites charge any agent per request in stablecoin over x402. The plumbing is real, the demand mostly isn't. The fight that matters is who controls access to what agents read.
The President Says It's Fine. The Order Says It Isn't. The Models Are Still Dark.
An export-control order blacked out two Anthropic frontier models worldwide. The President has since softened; the order hasn't. A hosted model enforces a nationality rule only by going da
Reconstructing FP64: How Supercomputing's Establishment Is Adapting Science to AI Silicon
Two papers, Matsuoka's FP8-emulation preprints and the Dongarra 'Ride the Wave' paper, point to a field adapting scientific computing to AI silicon it no longer controls.
