For the largest HPC system at the surveyed sites, the primary processor type for future system purchases was x86, at 85.2% of the sites, led by Intel (68.0%) and AMD (14.4%). The next largest identified primary processor was the IBM Power or OpenPower chips at 3.9%. Despite its growing visibility in the overall HPC sector, Arm-based components were only a small percentage of the overall processor space at 3.9%. 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.

In January of 2023, U.S. and European Union government representatives signed an administrative agreement that would bring artificial intelligence (AI) experts together to collaborate and advance AI research, compute technology, and related privacy and data protection elements. This agreement represents a step towards addressing the goals enumerated in the recent U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council (TCC) commitment penned in December of 2022. The effort emphasizes responsible advancement and use of AI "to address major global challenges" in five key areas: Extreme Weather and Climate Forecasting, Emergency Response Management, Health and Medicine Improvements, Electric Grid Optimization, and Agriculture Optimization.
