Here at the @HPCpodcast, Shahin and Doug are treated to speaking with some of the world’s leading HPC computer scientists, the ones who have made a deep and lasting impact. We spoke with one of them this week: commercial  cluster pioneer John Gustafson, CTO of Ceranovo and previously an AMD senior fellow, holder of senior positions at Intel, Massively Parallel Technologies, Inc. and ClearSpeed. How did Richard Feynman end up playing the bongo drums? How did a new take on Amdahl's Law help propel massively parallel computing and become Gustafson's Law? And what's wrong with the IEEE 754 number format that the new Posit format fixes? We go to the source as for answers to all these quetions.

Sometimes, vendors just won’t take customers’ money for a cluster no matter how hard the customer pleads. Last month, HPC technology strategist Ryan Quick, co-founder and principal at Providentia Worldwide consulting firm, told us that while vendors have technologies capable of delivering solutions across the stack, too often they have disconnects between business units that makes buying an integrated solution difficult, if not impossible. In this interview, Quick expands on those comments with problem scenarios and advice on handling vendors.

"Understanding a cluster can be complex if tools are not available such as Intel Cluster Checker. Think of how many times users complain that their applications are not runing with the expected performance and how long it takes system administrators to diagnose the issue. With Intel Cluster Checker, diagnosing and debugging of these issues is easier and less complex. By usingthis tool, customers will be more statisfied and a higher return on the investment will be realized."
