Reflections on 30 Years of HPC Programming: So many hardware advances, so little adoption of new languages
Summary
The article reviews 30 years of HPC programming, highlighting massive hardware gains but stagnation in programming languages. It argues that current HPC notations remain dominated by MPI/OpenMP/C/C++, discusses Chapel as a promising alternative, and calls for funding, open-source sustainability, and cross-notation evaluation to foster scalable parallel programming.
