How do we define HPC?
High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the usage of advanced storage, network, and compute resources to perform complex data calculations. Traditionally, such calculations have been done out of a supercomputer, a massive hardware infrastructure that was accessible only to enterprises and large organizations. With the rise of AI, DL/ML, and IoT, the demand for HPC started growing among smaller organizations as well and data center technologies have evolved to meet that demand.
The modern HPC architecture can be deployed not only on-premises, but also in the cloud. The clusters of computers providing advanced capabilities can now be rented from a data center provider on an on-demand model, which reduces its costs. By delivering high performance components on a pay-per-use model, IaaS providers made HPC more widely available.
