Frequently Asked Questions
What is high-performance computing used for?
High-performance computing (HPC) is used for data-intensive applications such as AI training, financial modeling, climate simulations, and real-time analytics, including computer vision for retail surveillance, fraud detection, and personalized recommendations.
How does HPC differ from traditional computing?
HPC utilizes parallel processing, high-speed interconnects, and specialized hardware (such as GPUs) to perform large-scale computations much faster than traditional computing, which relies on sequential processing.
What industries benefit from HPC?
Industries such as retail, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, energy, and scientific research rely on HPC for tasks like fraud detection, customer behavior prediction, drug discovery, risk analysis, weather forecasting, and engineering simulations.
What are the key components of an HPC system?
An HPC system typically includes high-performance processors (CPUs and GPUs), fast interconnects (InfiniBand, NVLink), scalable memory, parallel storage (NVMe SSDs, Lustre file systems), and workload management software for efficient resource allocation.
What are examples of high-performance computing?
Examples of HPC include supercomputers like Summit and Fugaku, AI training clusters, financial risk modeling platforms, climate simulations, and real-time genomics analysis for precision medicine.
