Emerging Technologies Showcase

In the Emerging Technologies track of the Technical Program, SC17 will examine innovative solutions that may significantly improve and extend the world of HPC in the next five to fifteen years. Consisting of carefully selected exhibits and presentations, Emerging Technologies will showcase technologies that are innovative from industry, government labs or initiatives, and academia but not yet available from industry as products.

Technologies such as, but not limited to, neuromorphic and deep learning accelerators, reconfigurable and approximate computing devices and systems, new SoC designs, 3D and non-volatile memory technologies, alternative programming languages and system software, and novel cooling techniques may offer medium-term benefits, while new device technologies such as, but not limited to, carbon nanotubes as well as quantum computing and next-generation optical computers offer potentially paradigm-changing benefits over the longer term.

The SC17 Emerging Technologies Committee has selected these technologies from submissions, based on a peer-review process. Successful projects advocate future technologies with the potential to influence computing and society as a whole.
