Abstract
In this paper, we describe the challenges that high performance computing (HPC) is facing and will be facing over the coming years. We will look into the challenges that HPC faces with the coming end of Moore’s law. We will look into the opportunities we see in software and algorithms. Finally, we will discuss the convergence of HPC and data analytics. We will conclude by pointing at the new challenges and opportunities that arise from this convergence.
