High-performance computing (HPC) has traditionally been thought of as a tool for the few, not for the many. However, with the convergence of HPC, the cloud, and AI, we're seeing a move toward the democratization of these technologies, particularly with the potential of utilizing hybrid work environments with a combination of cloud and on-premise technologies.

In this episode, host Sean Lang is joined by Google's Chief Technologist for HPC, Bill Magro, as he explores the growth and accessibility of HPC as well as the environmental issues related to these technologies.
