High Performance Computing
High Performance or Highly Productive Computing is the use of large computer systems to solve highly technical and challenging problems. The problem that HPC solves is time to solution.
HPC allows you to tap into a larger system that can:
-
Compute faster solutions
-
Increase your potential output
-
Decrease your time to market
In addition, using cluster computing to test, simulate, and crash your prototype before actually building the model can decrease time to market and design flaws exponentially. With the invention of cluster computing and the reduction in price of commoditized servers, HPC is expected to grow exponentially in use over the next 10 years.
