On the Cost of Iterative Computations - PMC - Access Denied  ## Metadata - Author: **Access Denied** - Full Title: On the Cost of Iterative Computations - PMC - Category: #articles - URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7015299/ ## Highlights - There is an emerging trend connecting data science and data informatics with the realm of computational science. We agree fully with this development. Scientific computing consists of much more than solving PDEs; it also includes, e.g. tasks such as event identification and correlation in high-energy physics data, climate simulation and its validation using sensor data, determining patterns in astronomical data, analysis of data from social and other complex networks and genetic sequencing. Supercomputer hardware is now being designed with data-driven applications in mind (e.g. including more memory at the node level, the inclusion of accelerators/specialized processors for neural network computations, and the inclusion of reduced-precision capabilities in hardware).
