Intersect360 Research Releases Report on Cloud Computing in HPC

SUNNYVALE, CA—June 20, 2011—Intersect360 Research, a market research and analysis firm focused on the High Performance Computing (HPC) industry, announces the release of its latest report, Cloud Computing in HPC: Usage and Types. The study, based on the company's survey of HPC users regarding their adoption of cloud computing resources, reports on the evaluation and adoption of public, private, and hybrid cloud computing models for HPC applications. Future reports in the series will examine the barriers, drivers, and economic models for using or evaluating cloud resources for HPC.

"With such a high proportion of users and vendors looking at clouds, this is fundamental research for the HPC industry," said Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect360 Research. "There are a lot of different definitions and approaches out there, and this report will help the vendor community tailor their offerings to match what end users want to buy.“

Major findings of the study include:

  • There is greater interest in evaluating private and hybrid cloud systems than public cloud systems. For organizations evaluating cloud types, multiple types are under consideration.
  • Hybrid cloud systems may demand new kinds of contracts that spell out ownership and possession of HPC assets and responsibilities for HPC cloud system operations.
  • For organizations implementing public, private, and hybrid cloud types, pure-play choices dominate the distribution. These HPC organizations are early adopters and apparently choose an approach to pursue.
  • The private cloud type holds the greatest share at this time. HPC sites with larger budgets favor the private cloud type.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Best Practices in Big Data Storage

05/10/2013 | Cleversafe, Cray, DDN, NetApp, & Panasas | From Wall Street to Hollywood, drug discovery to homeland security, companies and organizations of all sizes and stripes are coming face to face with the challenges – and opportunities – afforded by Big Data. Before anyone can utilize these extraordinary data repositories, however, they must first harness and manage their data stores, and do so utilizing technologies that underscore affordability, security, and scalability.

Exploring the Potential of Heterogeneous Computing

04/02/2012 | AMD | Developers today are just beginning to explore the potential of heterogeneous computing, but the potential for this new paradigm is huge. This brief article reviews how the technology might impact a range of application development areas, including client experiences and cloud-based data management. As platforms like OpenCL continue to evolve, the benefits of heterogeneous computing will become even more accessible. Use this quick article to jump-start your own thinking on heterogeneous computing.
