49% of HPC Sites Indicate That AI Expertise Is the Number One Barrier to Increased AI Adoption and Usage

Slurm continues to be the most popular job queuing, resource manager, or scheduling software at HPC sites around the world. In a recent study, Slurm maintained its lead with half of all respondents (50.0%) reporting they use Slurm at least some of the time. After Slurm, the most popular resource managers and schedulers were OpenPBS (18.9%), PBS Pro (13.9%), Torque (13.3%), NQS (12.2%), and LSF (10.6%). 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.

The usage of multiple programming languages is becoming ubiquitous at HPC sites as the number of languages per site continues to rise. C/C++ and Python are particularly popular, with the majority of HPC sites using both languages at least some of the time.
