High Performance Computing: About HPC
|
What is HPC? High Performance Computing (HPC) is a term commonly associated with scientific research. It generally refers to the use of multiple computing systems consisting of multiple processors, or clusters, connected together via a high-speed interconnect, which deliver computational results at rates much higher than typical computing systems. Very often HPC systems include the use of high-speed or parallel data storage systems capable of moving data at very high throughput rates. Scientists use HPC clusters to perform large numbers of calculations simultaneously, often drastically reducing the time required to perform tests and simulations. HPC clusters are often spoken of as supercomputers, although that they may refer to systems that are not clusters as well. |
