Tradeline: Making Sure Your Zettaflops Don’t Flop

Managing Principal Luke Voiland, AIA, LEED AP, and Principal Jeffery Bottomley, AIA, weigh in on future-proofing high performance computing facilities. They share with Tradeline how our teams benchmark collaborative, teaching, and research space to clarify a leading university’s space needs. Specifically, we’ve found that the basic rule for space needs is roughly one permanent seat to one seat in a collaborative space.

From a non-computer science perspective, it seems like they are just sitting and coding all day. That is, of course, part of it, but the rest of the time, they’re collaborating around ideas about what they are going to code and in what fashion and what language to use.
