Scientific workflows are now a common tool used by domain scientists in a number of disciplines. They are appealing because they enable users to think at high level of abstraction, composing complex applications from individual application components. Workflow management systems (WMSs), such as Pegasus (http://pegasus.isi.edu) automate the process of executing these workflows on modern...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is disrupting every known industry and profession, including that of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Digital technologies are rapidly changing the way industries and professions operate. However, studies found a low level of adoption of 4IR technologies in STEM education in South Africa due to limited awareness about the critical...
With the overwhelming impetus of “machine learning” (some would say “hype”), HPC has exposed new opportunities for data analytics both supervised and unsupervised. But, Neural-Net algorithms are not exactly new as they were developed in the 1980s. Nonetheless, with the advent of contemporary GPU-based supercomputers large-scale informatics has emerged as a practical tool for input-stream...
