The Hardest Pieces of Fusion's Fuel Chemistry Ran on a Quantum Computer. The Weakest Link Is Now Classical.

ORNL, Cleveland Clinic, and IBM computed nine FLiBe configurations on quantum hardware. The quantum solver hit its marks; the workflow around it is now the bottleneck.

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.

Spectra Clears Sandia's Supercomputer Acceptance. The Fall Mission-Code Gate Is the Real Test.

NextSilicon's Maverick-2 dataflow accelerator has met Sandia's Vanguard system-acceptance requirements on HPCG, LAMMPS, and SPARTA. The harder question comes this fall, when Sandia decides whether to move Spectra toward more demanding, mission-like ASC supercomputing workloads.
