High Performance and Technical Computing
• Compute and data intensive workloads used for simulation, modeling and analysis • Parallel applications developed with MPI • High Throughput Computing environments for embarrassingly parallel workloads • Parallel Service Oriented HPC environments used for Monte Carlo simulations and analytics • Covers a wide range of
– Homegrown, commercial, and open source applications – Government and Commercial vertical markets

High Performance and Technical Computing
Challenges • Unceasing demand for Compute
– Increased complexity and scalability requirements • Data growth
– Non-linear growth of data, structured and unstructured
• Rise of shared services / convergence of Compute + Data
– Rise of Big Data clusters driving need to support any/all distributed applications (heterogeneous compute + data) in a common infrastructure
• Clusters à Grids à HPC Clouds – From single purpose clusters of static resources
to workload-driven dynamic hybrid HPC resource clouds
Painpoints • Unable to meet business objectives (delay to
market, etc.) • Existing resources insufficient to meet peek
compute demand – Long run times on existing cluster or grid – No access to local technical computing resources
(workstation users) • Technical resources are expensive and time
consuming to acquire • The skills/staff to architect and manage a
technical computing infrastructure can be difficult to acquire
