Breaking The Supercomputing Monopoly with Parallel Works | Episode #103
Episode 103
Monday, 11 August, 2025
High Performance Computing is here for the masses!Enterprises are bleeding budget in the public cloud, shackled to legacy on-prem systems, and wrestling with HPC workflows so complex they require armies of admins just to keep them running. In this episode, I talk to Matthew Shaxted, Founder & CEO of Parallel Works, about how their ACTIVATE platform is breaking that lock-in, unifying HPC, AI, and hybrid cloud computing into one seamless control plane.Think democratized supercomputing — where scientists, researchers, engineers, and AI teams get instant, intuitive access to powerful compute resources without becoming system admins. ACTIVATE abstracts away the messy plumbing of schedulers, chipsets, and hybrid environments, enabling workloads to run seamlessly across on-prem, multi-cloud, and GPU clusters. From high-security IL5/CUI/ITAR deployments to real-time cost control and AI-driven physics model replacement, Parallel Works is lowering the complexity barrier and unlocking HPC for the AI era.Parallel Works was founded in 2014 in Chicago, IllinoisTechnology & Topics Mentioned:HPC, AI Orchestration, Hybrid Cloud, OpenStack, Kubernetes, GPU Clusters, Multi-GPU Nodes, IL5 Security, CUI/ITAR Compliance, Workflow Automation, Cost Governance, Scientific Computing, Predictive Modelling, Scheduler Abstraction, HPCwire Top Cloud Platform, Cloud Repatriation, NOAA, Biomedical Research, Space Weather Modelling, ML-based Physics ReplacementGreat Things with Great Tech Podcast: https://gtwgt.comGTwGT Playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcastListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Y1Fgl4DgGpFd5Z4dHulVXListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/great-things-with-great-tech-podcast/id1519439787EPISODE LINKSParallel Works Website: https://www.parallelworks.comParallel Works on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/parallel-worksMatthew Shaxted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewshaxtedGTwGT LINKSSupport the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgtBe on #GTwGT: Contact via Twitter/X @GTwGTPodcast or visit https://www.gtwgt.comSubscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcast?sub_confirmation=1Great Things with Great Tech Podcast Website: https://gtwgt.comSOCIAL LINKSFollow GTwGT on Social Media:Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/GTwGTPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/GTwGTPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@GTwGTPodcast🎵 Music by BenSound: https://www.bensound.com☑️ Support the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgt
