This is interesting, because the figure of merit is “time to first answer” –
that’s much like my iterative antenna modeling task – The cost of the computing
is negligible compared to the cost of the engineer(s) waiting for the results.

A few years ago I wrote a summary of software for supercomputing
with a focus on near-future developments. The Dept. of Energy had
a new round of funding for libraries and frameworks for supercomputers.
The description of the projects sounded like they could be flexible
and efficient w.r.t. compu
I think that’s exactly the situation we’ve been in for a long time, especially
in life sciences, and it’s becoming more entrenched. My experience is that the
average user of our scientific computing systems has been becoming less
technically savvy for many years now.
The presence of the cloud
Some points well made here. I have seen in the past job scripts passed on
from graduate student to graduate student - the case I am thinking on was
an Abaqus script for 8 core systems, being run on a new 32 core system. Why
WOULD a graduate student question a script given to them - which works.
The
Over on the Julia discussion list there are often topics on performance or
varying performance - these often turn out to be due to the BLAS libraries
in use, and how they are being used.
I believe that there is a project for pureJulia BLAS.

Yes, but which foot? You have enough space for two toes from each foot for
q taste, and you then need some logic to decide which one to use.
