I used to be really excited about supercomputers. It's part of why I pursued HPC-related work.

But I think that having no interest in their actual applications has curbed my enthusiasm. I wish I could make a good living in something that interested more.

I love the applications, but I'm dismayed at the stagnation in programming models used to get the best performance out of modern clusters. This sums up my feelings:

Could work on the supercomputer hardware/toolchain/libraries instead of the applications
