Myths and Legends in High Performance Computing

Here we talk through a very interesting paper (that we were not involved with in any way) on Myths and Legends in HPC. The paper talks through various ideas about how HPC is going to change in the future and describes why the future isn't as clear-cut as some of the pundits suggest. We give some context and overview on the paper and describe why it looks like the future of High Performance Computing is going to include things much like those that you can see now, even if there are going to be remarkable advances and changes. Take home message - if you want to write HPC code, don't be put off by people who claim that everything will be different in 5 years.
