Changes in scale, whether technical or sociological, always bring new challenges.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat are the emerging technologies that will drive the future of high-performance computing? How can we best integrate software management of component failures and system resilience, energy consumption and efficiency, and performance optimization in manageable and intuitive ways? How can we measure and optimize the performance of systems at scale? How do we balance use of commodity components and economies of scale against custom design, recognizing that technical computing has always tracked the consumer mainstream? What are the best ways to manage and extract insights from data at scale, and what are the economically viable ways to enable multidisciplinary data fusion and technology transfer? How can we simplify use of technical computing and broaden the base of users?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis talk will examine these and other issues technically, socially and economically, with an eye to the fusion of technology and policy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI head Microsoft\u0027s Technology Policy Group, whose role is to help shape Microsoft\u0027s long-term vision for technology innovations and the company\u0027s associated policy engagement with governments and institutions around the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPreviously, I was the founding director of the Renaissiance Computing Institute (RENCI) at the University of North Carolina, the Chancellor\u0027s Eminent Professor, and Senior Advisor for Strategy and Innovation.
