As HPC continues to grow in academic, government, and commercial sectors, one might wonder just who are the current movers and shakers of the HPC industry and community? In the past, the government labs certainly took on this role and blazed the commodity HPC trail. These days, however, those pushing the HPC market and the technology are not necessarily pushing top performance, but are rather expanding and improving HPC application spaces. HPC headlines traditionally speak of petaflops, colliding galaxies, and folding proteins — all important stuff — but the growth of HPC in other areas, such as design or manufacturing, are equally as important and just as interesting. Unfortunately, many of these HPC application leaders are known only within their respective domains. Perhaps you know of someone who should be sharing their experience and know-how with the rest of the HPC community. In fact, it could be you!
