Summary: If you Google for a definition of high performance computing, you’ll find several entries on several sites that can be condensed down to this: high performance computing describes the use of supercomputers or parallel processing algorithms to solve computationally intensive problems.<br> Today on the Datanauts podcast, we’re going to pick the brains of a person who has worked in high performance computing environments. We’re especially interested in the distributed computing aspects of HPC and the challenges it presents to the infrastructure engineering community.<br> Our guest is <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/buraglio" rel="noopener">Nick Buraglio</a>, a network architect and engineer at the Energy Sciences Network, the service provider network for the Department of Energy that connects national labs.
