The post-Moore era calls for a paradigm shift that pushes algorithmic advances, but also novel hardware and software approaches. Emerging technologies – quantum computing, neuromorphic architectures, photonics, and others – offer promising acceleration capabilities, but each introduces its own ecosystem, challenges and complexity. To harness these innovations effectively, HPC must evolve toward integrated, heterogeneous environments built on top of unified software stacks that ensure programmability, portability, and accessibility for domain scientists.
This keynote will showcase examples of emerging technologies and their integration into the HPC ecosystem. A concrete case will highlight quantum acceleration through an HPC-QC software stack and hybrid workflows. Building on this, the talk will outline strategies for creating a unified, heterogeneous environment that turns diversity in architectures – from quantum to neuromorphic – into a strength rather than a barrier.
