The fastest supercomputers on the planet have multi-megawatt appetites, which makes some green HPC companies, such as IBM, very happy. The IBM Blue Gene/Q machine is currently number one in energy-efficient flops, but a new FPGA-like technology brought to market by semiconductor start-up eASIC is providing an even greener computing solution. And one HPC project in Japan, known as GRAPE, is using the chips to power its newest supercomputer.
In the midst of all the challenges, healthcare payers appear to be more accepting of the ICD-10 transition. The complexity of the ICD-10 compliance isn’t lost on them, but they seem to be open to the challenges. It makes one wonder why there are more supportive of the transition than the providers.
