Nicole Hemsoth, Director of Editorial Operations, Senior Contributing Editor

Nicole Hemsoth brings news and insights to HPC in the Cloud from her experiences as a former contributing editor for HPCwire, former managing editor of HPC in the Cloud and most recently, as the editor of the data-intensive computing ("big data") publication, Datanami. Her perspective pulls from across the enterprise and research spectrum of high performance computing to address the system, application and performance-tuning elements of modern supercomputing facilities, architectures and user scenarios.

As the supercomputing and enterprise computing communities begin to coalesce further, Hemsoth will continue to explore the ways in which HPC has moved more into the mainstream, while still recognizing the critical work that takes place at global research centers and universities. As a former technical writer, she will provide a deep technological perspective while also communicating the broader value of key news events in the HPC community persepctive.
