Abstract
High Performance Computing (HPC) is used to solve a number of complex questions in computational and data-intensive sciences. These questions include the simulation and modeling of physical phenomena, such as climate change, energy production, drug design, global security, and materials design; the analysis of large data sets, such as those in genome sequencing, astronomical observation, and cybersecurity; and, the intricate design of engineered products, such as airplanes and automobiles.
