Supercomputing completely rethinks how technology can conquer challenges today and prepare for even greater challenges tomorrow. Yet the term “supercomputing” is often misconstrued. It’s time to demystify the next era of compute.
Escalating competition is putting tremendous pressure on organizations to transform their operations from the ground up. Supercomputing completely rethinks how technology comes together to conquer these greatest challenges of today, and prepare for the even bigger challenges of tomorrow. However, the term “supercomputing” is often misconstrued to apply to only the world’s largest research and government groups, causing organizations to shy away from high-performance computing opportunities. Many believe they lack the financial resources, expertise, or even the need to adopt the latest technologies. As a result, the benefits of supercomputing are being widely underutilized in a number of industries. It’s time to demystify supercomputing.
The high volume of data and increased complexity of workloads are requiring businesses to reevaluate their compute. Supercomputing technologies can better handle today’s modern, converged workloads and deliver the parallel processing power and speed to overcome the limitations of inflexible IT infrastructure with a combination of compute, storage, interconnects, and software that are available at any scale. Organizations need the high performance and high throughput that supercomputing capabilities provide to reduce bottlenecks and latency issues. This allows organizations to accomplish an extensive range of tasks, from small-scale activities to high-end workloads at the same time. The purpose of supercomputing is to optimize and accelerate any type of workload, which makes it possible to analyze and make sense of events that are too difficult to see or measure in real life. The data-intensive nature of new applications will require ongoing innovation for the long term. These capabilities will redefine what it means to operate, leading organizations to reconsider how they think, learn, collaborate, and engage the world.
Advancements in supercomputing technologies are changing the face of the modern data center, as organizations implement capabilities today that will be relevant for years to come. Addressing important scientific, engineering, and business challenges depends on continued investments in supercomputing. Strategic adoption of these technologies gives organizations the potential to evolve and lead their industries.
