This Special Study looks at the evolution and changes in file systems used for technical computing. Although the file system sector may appear to be mature, significant changes are occurring across many fronts spanning business, technology, workload requirements, and competitive forces.
Hyperion Research recently initiated its Top of Mind (ToM) surveys, a periodic series of questions designed to gather quick answers on some of the more compelling topics of the day. For this second round of the ToM survey, questions spanned AI, power/sustainability concerns, cloud provider improvements, talent shortages, and work-from-home programs. 120 respondents from across the HPC/AI community and around the world participated.

Expertise is now a major concern for both HPC and AI users, outranked only by budget concerns among top barriers to expanding HPC on-premises. A third of HPC sites (33.1%) reported that lack of knowledge or skilled support staff was one of their top three barriers. Only a third of respondents (35.4%) report that they do not have any staffing concerns within the next year. When asked about barriers to furthering AI capabilities, AI-specific expertise was identified as a significant concern. Other significant barriers also included access to AI expertise (48.9%), skills in AI model development (47.2%), and skills in AI programming (36.1%). This data is from an annual study that is part of the eighth edition of Hyperion Research's HPC end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.
