HPC Expertise Graph
HPC is a broad niche, so much so in fact there are parts of it that may seem completely alien. So how do we communicate which parts of HPC we know about?
I have yet another hair brained, caffein addled, half baked HPC idea. It’s been rattling around inside my head now for a little while, so I figure it’s about time to get it out there.
HPC is such a broad niche. Which I feel is almost contradictory, but it’s certainly true. So how do you communicate which part of HPC you work in or care about?
I thought I’d take a stab and came up with an idea for a diagram to represent it. Think of the X axis as all the different areas of expertise that go into HPC, supercomputing or AI infrastructure. Ranging from power generation on one end to the end user running code needing HPC on the other.
The y axis is the depth of expertise.
You could use this to describe your own abilities, the skills in a role you’re hiring for, the expertise of a company, anything really.
I’m sure I’ve probably missed things that should be on the X axis (in fact I know I have) so this is very much version 0.1 but if it feels useful, I was thinking it would be pretty trivial to cook up an image generator website where you can just enter the levels of expertise for each domain and get a personalised graphic.
Thoughts? 🤔
