High
performance computing (HPC) refers to any form of computational
activity that requires more than one computer to execute complex
computational tasks. With the help of supercomputers and computer
clusters, high performance computing has the ability to manage and
analyze large amounts of data at an exceptionally high speed. In
other words, where solving a complex computational problem using a
normal computer could take a couple of months, high performance
computing enables users to do the same in days or may be even
minutes.
HPC
has become more ubiquitous in recent times with small, medium, as
well as large enterprises exploiting the benefits it offers. The high
performance computing market has had a significant impact across all
economic sectors and forecast suggests that the market is expected to
grow at a steady rate in the near future.
Increasing
adoption of high performance computing
The
importance of high performance computing is being recognized across
all verticals – right from academics and communications to biotech
and defense. This extensive usage has led to rapid adoption even by
governments across the globe. Understanding the significance of high
performance computing in matters of security and economic
competitiveness, governments have increased investments in the
field.
Product
innovations and recent developments in the field of high performance
computing such as cloud-based services have attracted not just data
centers but even SMEs within the market. In addition to this, the
growing number of supercomputers across the world and rising economic
competitiveness has fueled the growth of the high performance
computing market.
In
contrast, factors that are expected to stall the growth of the high
performance computing industry are pricing, issues related to power
and cooling, and cost of computer resources.
Fragmentation
of the high performance computing market
The
global high performance computing market is extremely fragmented and
is segmented on the basis of various parameters: components,
professional services, price bands, deployment, end users, and
geography.
The
components of high performance computing include storage, servers,
networking devices, and software (which include cluster management,
middleware, fabric management, performance optimization tools, and
programming tools). Professional services provided under high
performance computing comprise designing and consulting, integration
and deployment, and training and outsourcing. High performance
computing may be deployed either on premise or on cloud. There are
two main categories of high performance computing based on price
bands – US$249,000-100,000 and below, and US$250,000-500,000 and
above.
High
performance computing finds applications in almost every industry
vertical. Some of the major end users include gaming, academic
institutions, bio sciences, manufacturing, retail, media and
entertainment, web, government and defense, energy and natural
resources, transportation and logistics, weather, BFSI institutions,
and chemical.
Geographically,
the high performance computing market can be divided into four main
regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.
High
performance computing: Key market players and innovators
The
high performance computing market is driven by immense competition
among players. There are numerous small and large companies operating
in the market and have had a significant impact on the same. These
include Microsoft Corporation, Hitachi Data Systems, Groupe Bull, The
International Business Machines Corporation, Silicon Graphics
International Corporation, NetApp, Inc., Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc., Oracle Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Cray
Inc., Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, and Intel Corporation.
Innovation
is a key aspect of the high performance computing market and
companies invest a lot of time and money to develop innovative
solutions to gain competitive advantage. Some of the leading
innovators of the high performance computing industry are Asetek,
Chelsio Communication, Sabalcore Computing Inc., Super Micro
Computer, Inc., Terascala, Cycle Computing, Penguin Consulting Group,
and Panasas, Inc.
