SC24 BoF

High-Performance Computing systems that have been traditionally deployed at a single site are expected to significantly expand their reach to include a variety of remote edge systems. These edge systems include computing platforms located near instruments as well as instruments themselves. Examples range from interconnected ecosystems of large science instruments to smart energy grids supported by complex analytics and control. These interconnected systems form a compute and instrument continuum wherein computation is orchestrated in various stages. This BoF will discuss the role of quantum networks in communicating between quantum, conventional, and hybrid systems to enable continuum computing of the future.
