As supercomputing makes its way through the petascale era, the future of the technology has never seemed so uncertain.  HPC veteran Thomas Sterling, Professor of Informatics & Computing at Indiana University, takes us through some of the most critical  developments in high performance computing, explaining why the transition to exascale is going to be very different than the ones in the past and how the United States is losing its leadership in HPC innovation.

Please join us on Thursday, May 3rd, for an afternoon of interactive 3D animation at the Innovation Center in the new Cyberinfrastructure Complex at 10th and the Bypass.  This is an event not to be missed, with live electronic music performances accompanying the work produced by local artists.
