Missed @hpcnotes presentation at the @hpccouncil UK Conference where he covered #HPC @Azure and thoughts as we approach #Exascale?

Andrew makes some excellent points about the impact of doing things at extreme scale - whether it be #cloud or #HPC
Even a small number multiplied by a very large number results in something significant. Hence the need to optimize all aspects - he gives a good example - PUE.

Even if the large public #cloud providers may not have breached the #Exascale barrier (for those who follow me know what that is defined as
) , they are, as @hpcnotes said, "unquestionably at a large enough scale to share relevant lessons for Exascale"

What issues do hyperscale #cloud or #Exascale #HPC bring?
What is the cost of getting it right vs. the cost/risk of getting it wrong?
Scale matters!

Perhaps the most interesting part of Andrew's presentation is comparing what was predicted for #Exascale vs. the reality.
In reality, it is much more of an evolution rather than a revolution!
The dominant programming model is still #MPI + X
