The Era of Experimentation
Vendors must work together to get the most out of HPC, say conference panelists
The capabilities of high-performance computing (HPC)--the breathtaking speed, the ability to handle massive volumes of data--often collide with the practical limitations of making the hardware, applications and operating system all work together efficiently.
That's why applying a hybrid approach to Wall Street's HPC needs was a recurring theme at the annual High Performance on Wall Street conference in New York last month. IBM Corp.'s Dave Turek, VP of deep computing, described how people are merging multiple technologies to ramp up their systems to give users the power they desire. It's the "era of experimentation," said Turek. Heterogeneity is here to stay, he added: "Incompatibility is percolating through everything."
