"This book gives a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the rapidly expanding field of the industrial use of supercomputers. It is just a pleasure reading through informative country reports and in-depth case studies contributed by leading researchers in the field." -Jysoo Lee, Principal Researcher, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information "From telescopes to microscopes, from vacuums to hyperbaric chambers, from sonar waves to laser beams, scientists have perpetually strived to apply technology and invention to new frontiers of scientific advancement. Along the way, they have used abacuses, slide rules, calculators, computers, and-today-supercomputers, to crunch the increasingly complicated calculations used to understand and predict natural phenomena. In the course of practicality, science begets engineering, and engineering begets innovation. Science, and therefore supercomputing, finds its way into industry around the world, affecting our lives in ways that are simple (cleaner clothes, faster speedboats, and more spin on a seven-iron) and profound (fewer drug interactions, safer cars, and new energy sources). Altogether, industry consumes more than half of all high performance computing usage worldwide. This book tells that story." -Addison Snell, CEO, Intersect360 Research "Two words: finally and brilliant! As HPC becomes ever important as a means to leverage all that we are revealing/learning, this book will put into context how we got there and where we might end up ... a timeless, global perspective." -Tom Tabor, CEO, Tabor Communications, Inc., Publishers of HPCwire, Enterprise Tech, and Datanami "Political and industrial leaders should heed the insights offered by Osseyran and Giles. At the Council on Competitiveness, we assert that to out-compete is to out-compute. This book makes that assertion breathtakingly clear, whether you're a nation or a company. The authors share how industries apply supercomputing to innovate and serve customers better-and how global that competition has become. Leadership in supercomputing equates to leadership in science, national security, and the marketplace." -Deborah Wince-Smith, President and CEO, Council on Competitiveness
