Chapter 21

Next Steps and Beyond

Abstract

This textbook presents concepts, knowledge, and skills to provide an introductory foundation for high performance computing technology, systems, and applications. It also includes vignettes on contributors and milestone accomplishments that constitute the mainstream culture of the supercomputing field and its evolution. But due to space constraints and the limitations in time of a one-semester course, not everything that might be discussed has been incorporated. This final chapter is intended to provide a sense of the expanse of the field beyond the elements already discussed. It also takes the liberty of giving an intuition of where this most rapidly changing of fields may go in the next few years.
