Changing Competitive Environment
• U.S. is facing more serious global competitive challenges than in the past
• We can no longer compete on traditional cost and quality terms
• The ability to create new value will determine competitive advantage

High Performance Computing ProjectA program of the Council’s National Innovation Initiative
Objective: Stimulate and facilitate wider usage of HPC across the private sector to propel productivity, innovation and competitiveness
Approach• Determine whether the private sector is using HPC as
aggressively as it could and should– If not…why not: business & technical barriers
• Explore the role of public-private sector partnerships to address barriers
• Leverage government investment in HPC R&D, systems and expertise to advance industrial and national competitiveness

HPC Drives Business Competitiveness
• Shortened product development cycles– U.S. entertainment industry must compete with
foreign animation studios
that have much cheaper
wage rates

Companies are not Using HPC as Aggressively as Possible
– Lack of computational scientists (internal or external)
– Not enough people in the pipeline– Poor match between skills taught
and skills needed
• Education and Training Barriers

Companies are not Using HPC as Aggressively as Possible
• Business Culture Barriers:– Is HPC an investment, or a cost? – What is the return on investment (ROI)?
![Page 18: 1 Council on Competitiveness High Performance Computing Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cc25503460f94989e38/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Companies are not Using HPC as Aggressively as Possible
• Technical Barriers– Legacy applications software inhibits usage– Codes are often not scalable for broader industrial
use– Software licensing costs are growing, becoming a
barrier for some sites

HPC Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Study
• First of its kind
• Independent, extensive assessment of the landscape and market dynamics surrounding ISVs that serve HPC users.

HPC Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Study
• Interviews Completed– 110 completed interviews (by application)– From 54 different suppliers/companies
• Notes– There are many small university codes that we did not focus on– Government ISV codes received second priority – We surveyed for codes that are used in the U.S. or worldwide. Codes
that are only used in their foreign country of origin (e.g., India, Japan) were not included in this study.

HPC Independent Software Vendor (ISV) study
ISV applications only exploit a fraction of the performance potential of today’s systems
In practice, 82% of applications are runat 32 CPUs or below.
About one in four applications
is single-CPU.

For many applications, the ISVs know how to improve scalability but have no plans to do so.
Already does, or in progress
