HPCwire's People to Watch 2013

HPCwire’s annual People to Watch list pays tribute to an exemplary group of the best and brightest minds of HPC who's hard work, dedication and contributions we believe reach beyond the spectrum of high performance computing and will influence the direction that technology will lead us in 2013 and beyond.

These men and women represent the movers and shakers, the leaders and the drivers, who not only set the standards of excellence with their contributions in HPC and to their communities, but who are fascinating people to watch as well.

The selection of this year’s top 12 was painstakingly finalized following weeks of extensive deliberation by the HPCwire editorial and executive staff, recommendations from past recipients, and with guidance from industry analysts and luminaries in the HPC community.

While we can't acknowledge all the stellar individuals who merit people watching this year, it’s an honor and a privilege for us to present the twelve finalists we believe will be making an impact in HPC in 2013.

Congratulations to all the HPCwire People to Watch for 2013!

– Jeff Hyman, President and Group Publisher, Tabor Communications Inc.
