Oct. 19 — NASA Aerospace Engineer Dr. Shishir Pandya explains how high performance computers (HPCs) help advance airplane and rocket technologies to save fuel and make travel more affordable for the public. According to Pandya it is also critical to be pushing technology further to search for that next breakthrough.
This is another chapter in a series of short videos focusing on why HPC is important and of critical value to society. It is part of a three-year SC “HPC Matters” campaign.

This year’s chosen speaker is Intel’s Diane Bryant – recently named one of the top 51 most powerful women by Forbes. To view those details, click here.
About SC15
For its 27th anniversary, the annual SC Conference will return to Austin, TX, a city that continues to develop new ways of engaging our senses and incubating technology of all types, including supercomputing. SC15 will yet again provide a unique venue for spotlighting HPC and scientific applications, and innovations from around the world.
SC15 will bring together the international supercomputing community—an unparalleled ensemble of scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, programmers, system administrators and developers—for an exceptional program of technical papers, informative tutorials, timely research posters and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions. The SC15 Exhibition Hall will feature exhibits of the latest and greatest technologies from industry, academia and government research organizations; many of these technologies making their debut in Austin. No conference is better poised to demonstrate how HPC can transform both the everyday and the incredible.
