Taking High Performance Computing to the Next Level

摘要

In the past, high performance computing (HPC) required costly supercomputers that needed whole buildings to house them, huge amounts of power and cooling to run, and teams of engineers to write programs for them. Today, new power-efficient, multi-core platform technology offers the possibility of using HPC in any environment, from clustered platforms in the enterprise data center to four or eight-processor systems on the researcher, analyst or designer's desktop.
