HPCwire’s group publisher Jeff Hyman explains how the Wire publications – HPCwire, AIwire, BigDATAwire and QCwire – act as the media backbone of the high-performance computing, AI and quantum ecosystem. With almost four decades of coverage behind them, they follow the fastest supercomputers on the planet, the people who operate national labs and hyperscale data centers, and the vendors building GPU clusters, exascale systems and data-intensive infrastructure. https://www.hpcwire.com/
The conversation dives into the “35 Legends” program, a hall-of-fame style recognition launched to mark the brand’s 35th anniversary and now expanded as the field grows. Seymour Cray, Gordon Moore, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su and other architects, semiconductor leaders and system builders are highlighted as foundational figures who shaped vector machines, microprocessors, GPUs and large-scale parallel systems across generations of computing history.
Hyman reflects on how editorial coverage has shifted from the early cloud and big data era to today’s GPU-centric AI boom, where every system vendor and cloud provider wants to be part of the generative AI and large language model story. He stresses that AI, HPC and data are tightly coupled layers of the same stack: you cannot train frontier models without high-performance clusters and interconnects, and HPC itself is becoming the on-ramp toward practical quantum accelerators and hybrid classical-quantum compute.
Finally, the interview captures the role of HPCwire and its sister sites on the SC25 Supercomputing show floor in St Louis, where a small editorial team turns booth meetings and keynotes into roughly two dozen original articles plus hundreds of curated press releases. The result is a running log of the community’s focus areas – from AI acceleration and GPU cloud services to emerging quantum platforms – and a sense of continuity between the pioneers on the 35 Legends wall and the architectures now shaping the next decade of computing.
