We’re desperate to know the future of high-performance computing (HPC) as soon as we can, so we can best invest efforts for our supercomputing needs for the medium term. Without a crystal ball, we look to the past, starting with the massive assumption that how we got here is a good indication of where we are going next. We assume that how Product X succeeded, why Technology Y became dominant and the story behind Company Z’s failure are all useful in showing us which of the current crop of products, technologies or companies will fail and which will go on to change our industry.
