Scope and objective
High-performance computing (HPC) describes the application of parallelization and distribution algorithms or techniques to connected computing units, to perform more complex tasks in a faster manner than a single unit could do alone. Over the past two decades, the operation speeds of HPC has increased exponentially. Riding on such growth, while HPC continuously advances in its traditional domain of theoretical science and software development, it is increasingly becoming a prevalent solution to a wide range of emerging telecommunication technologies.
Edge Computing Networks and Telecommunication technologies support information transmission over significant distance via distributed and connected communication devices. Rapid innovations in transmission, switching, processing, analyzing, and retrieval of information are vital for the success of a wide range of emerging telecommunication technologies, including connected sensors and IoT devices, smart grid, smart cities, software-defined networks, network function virtualization, data-driven cognitive networking, cyber security, green communications, etc. The class of computational problems that need to be tackled, such as combinatorial optimization, agent-based modelling, massive data analysis, parallel discrete event network simulations, pose new challenges in design or develop the above emerging telecommunication technologies. HPC is essential to address these computational challenges.
Greatly relevant is the contribution that modelling and evaluation techniques (both analytical and simulation based) may bring to the design and the implementation of such complex HW/SW architectures, to dominate various concurring requirements and guide decision processes that lead to an effective result.
The aim of this special issue is to explore how HPC as a research tool enhances emerging telecommunication technologies, and hence present a completing panorama of the state-of-the-art quality research efforts on applying HPC to telecommunications. In addition, the discussion of future and emerging challenges, advances, and applications of HPC and related technologies are all the interests of this special issue. It is hoped that the published research issues or solution guidelines will inspire further research in this very important area of various telecommunication system or algorithm design, as well as provide comprehensive information for researchers, students in ICT, program developers, military and government organizations, and business professionals.
