How to Build a Supercomputer
In this article, I argue that technical reporting and documentation processes function to mitigate uncertainty and enable complex systems in the endeavor of big science. The argument draws on two years of field research investigating technical reporting and documentation processes at a federally funded supercomputing center dedicated to scientific research. A central question the study sought to answer was, “How does one build a new supercomputer…
Writing Down the Machine
In this chapter, the authors trace how one of the world's largest and fastest supercomputers becomes a polished report that can circulate the hallways of Washington, DC. The supercomputer has nodes that are dedicated to monitoring the machine so that computing power is not robbed from the jobs that are running. The authors use language to trace, and thereby enact, the network for their own explanatory purposes: to answer the question of how X bec…
